Work is complete on U.S. 98
Construction crews completed work in April 2012 on the $4.7 million U.S. 98 resurfacing project in southwestern Okaloosa County. The project delivered the following repairs and improvements for U.S. 98 between Josie Road and the Santa Rosa County line.
- Resurfacing the travel lanes.
- Improving drainage.
- Replacing guardrails.
- Replacing electronic loops embedded in the pavement that activate traffic signals.
- New directional and informational signage.
