Crews in Walton County are resurfacing U.S. 98 from east of U.S. 331 to Peach Creek. This photo shows crews paving the westbound U.S. 98 turn lane access to County Road 283. Crews completed work at this intersection last month, and the turn lane is now open for roadway traffic. These construction activities are part of FDOT’s $8.3 million effort to improve and resurface 4.5 miles of U.S. 98, from east of U.S. 331 to Peach Creek.
