From Destin Water Users: As a result of utility relocation work required to prepare for the Highway 98 Widening Project, the two west bound lanes of Highway 98 at the intersection of Airport Road will be closed starting at 8pm February 12th until 6am February 13th for up to three nights. Destin Water Users, the City of Destin and the Florida Department of Transportation will be performing work in the area necessitating the lane closures. During construction, westbound traffic will be detoured up Airport Road to Main Street and then back to Highway 98. Eastbound traffic will not be able to make a left turn onto Airport Road during this time as well.
Destin Water Users will install a new water line to connect to an existing water line the in the median of Highway 98 and the City and FDOT will be making repairs to the stormwater drainage system in this area.
