In June, the Florida Department of Transportation awarded Superior Construction Southeast with the $171 million design-build contract for the Brooks Bridge Replacement Project.

  • In total, the project should take about 5-years to complete.

Most recently, several buildings were demolished in downtown Fort Walton Beach to make way for the new bridge. This included a four-unit building at Oak Breeze Apartments, Pat’s Bait & Tackle shop, Bamboo’s Jamaican Restaurant, Diva Nails & Spa, along with the old Doghouse Surf Shop.

  • Additionally, a portion of the front of Props Brewery located at the Shoppes at Paradise Pointe is being removed.
