By | December 9, 2020

Arrive Alive is the motto as work continues on Florida state highways, and the Florida Department of Transportation advises that there will be intermittent lane shifts on northbound State Road 79 between Clayton Road in Washington County and Thomas Drive in Holmes County from 7AM on Wednesday, December 9 to 7AM on Monday, December 14.  

Road crews are completing work activities in preparation to open the northbound travel lanes between Court Street in Vernon and Thomas Drive in Bonifay. 

All planned construction activities are weather dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. 

Motorists are reminded to pay attention to the posted speed limit of 45 mph (35 mph in the city of Vernon) when traveling through the construction area and watch for construction equipment entering and exiting the roadway.

Speeding fines are doubled when workers are present.
