Road Construction Activities Suspended for Memorial Day Weekend

May 24, 2014

To promote safety and reduce congestion over the Memorial Day weekend, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is suspending normal road construction activities on all major roads in Northwest Florida, including those in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.  There will be no work on state roads requiring lane restrictions from Saturday, May 24 through Monday, May 27.  All major roads will be open to normal traffic.

If an emergency situation occurs during the upcoming holiday weekend requires a lane closure, repairs will continue until that lane is reopened to the traveling public and all safety issues related to the traveling public have been addressed.

Motorists are reminded to use caution while traveling through work zones around barricades and equipment on current projects. Travelers can access Florida’s 511 service from cell phones, landlines, and  at www.FL511.com to receive updates on travel in the area.
