Home » Guides » Florida » State Road 368 - 23rd Street

Florida State Road 368 (23rd Street) is an arterial loop bypassing U.S. 98 (18th Street / 15th Street) across the city of Panama City. The bulk of the 5.388 mile state road east from Bayview and Pretty Bayou to U.S. 231 near Diego Park constitutes a five-lane commercial boulevard. The $67.9 million 23rd Street Flyover project, ongoing through Winter 2019, upgrades the west end with U.S. 98 at the Port of Panama City with flyovers and a wye interchange.
