Traffic Shift on U.S. 331 Widening Project

January 24, 2018

Chipley, FL – North and southbound traffic from south of Healthmark Regional Medical Center to north of Coy Burgess Loop South in Walton County will be shifted to the recently completed northbound lanes around 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28.  In addition, the new driveway constructed at the Healthmark Regional Medical Center will open to traffic.  Similar traffic pattern changes will occur over the next month as crews complete construction activates on the new southbound lanes.

This work is part of the $48 million U.S. 331 construction project that includes expanding the existing road to four lanes, adding drainage and safety improvements and placing new roadway signs and pavement markings.  The estimated completion date is summer 2018.

All planned construction activities are weather dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.  Drivers are reminded to pay attention to the speed limit when traveling through the construction area and to use caution, especially at night, when driving in work zones.
