U.S. 98 to Change

December 19, 2008

Several safety upgrades to U.S. 98 at Mustang and Coral streets in Navarre, will be made in the new year, according to the Santa Rosa County Engineering Department.

Santa Rosa County spokeswoman Joy Tsubooka said Improvements include closing the median opening on U.S. 98 at Mustang Street; removing the U.S. 98 westbound left-turn lane at Mustang Street; construction of a new paved median opening on U.S. 98 at Coral Street; and construction of an eastbound left-turn lane on U.S. 98 at Coral Street.

Construction is scheduled to begin Jan. 5 and is anticipated to be completed in about 30 days, Tsubooka said.

The improvements on U.S. 98 are safety upgrades recommended in the U.S. Highway 98 Corridor Management Report and are part of a planned Santa Rosa County project to install a traffic signal on U.S. 98 at Coral Street in late spring or early summer.
