Work is scheduled to begin in June 2022 on a new $3.2 million project to resurface a 2.2-mile segment of State Road (S.R.) 85 (North Ferdon Boulevard) from U.S. 90 to north of Commerce Drive.

These additional improvements and enhancements will also be made during this project: 

  • Sidewalk improvements.
  • Signalization enhancements.
  • Drainage upgrades.
  • New signage and pavement markings.

During construction, drivers may encounter temporary traffic shifts as well as intermittent and alternating lane closures between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday nights.  

No lane closures will be scheduled during special events at Crestview High School, Richbourg School, or Northwood Elementary School. Pedestrians may be temporarily detoured while sidewalk work and repairs are performed. 

The project is estimated for completion in early 2023.
