Walton County Projects in Progress

Summary

Walton County Public Works has released an update on several infrastructure projects. E. Primrose Avenue, Orange Blossom Avenue (east and west), Poinsetta Avenue (east and west), and 13th Street are all being converted from dirt to paved roads, with crews stabilizing road bases, installing drainage, paving, striping and laying sod at different stages of completion; drivers should expect occasional shoulder and lane closures during this work. Near the intersection of Old Ferry Road and US 98, construction is underway on a new southbound right turn lane. Other efforts include building a multi-use path and fixing culvert headwalls and ditches on Lake Drive, adding a sidewalk on W Harborview Road, restriping on DeShazo Road, shoulder upkeep on Watson Road, and drainage work on Bruce Avenue. The county notes that scheduling for these projects could shift depending on conditions, and asks motorists to be careful around work zones.
