Chipley – The Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Three office is suspending highway
construction projects on major roadways across Northwest Florida. There will be no work on state roads
requiring lane restrictions from Thursday, July 2 to Sunday, July 5. All major
roads will be open to normal traffic.
Although no
construction closures are scheduled over the Independence Day holiday, existing
state highway work zones will remain in effect. Motorists are reminded to use
caution while traveling through work zones around barricades and equipment.
FDOT is encouraging
drivers to allow extra travel time and to use extra caution in existing work
zones along state highways. Drivers are urged to make sure they buckle up,
along with their passengers. FDOT and other safety agencies also ask drivers to
obey speed limits, get adequate rest before traveling, avoid distractions and
never drink and drive.
Drivers also are
urged to be prepared for unscheduled highway closures due to accidents,
disabled vehicles or other events. Motorists should be alert to changing
weather conditions while traveling.
Travelers can access
Florida’s 511 service from cell phones, landlines, and online at www.FL511.com
to receive updates on travel in the area.
