The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold an Alternatives public workshop regarding the U.S. 98 (State Road 30) over Santa Rosa Sound Bridge Replacement (Brooks Bridge Study) Tuesday, May 17, 2016 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. CDT at the Emerald Coast Convention Center, 1250 Miracle Strip Parkway, S.E., Fort Walton Beach. This workshop is being held as part of a current Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study that is being conducted to evaluate proposed transportation solutions for the replacement of the Brooks Bridge and to provide documented information necessary for FDOT to reach a decision on the type, design, and location of the improvements, including associated intersection improvements at Perry Avenue in Fort Walton Beach, and in the vicinity of Santa Rosa Boulevard on Okaloosa Island. The project is being developed to replace the structurally-deficient Brooks Bridge, while minimizing potential impacts to the natural and human environments. The project is currently in the PD&E study phase. No funding has been allocated for subsequent phases of right-of-way, design, or construction. The workshop will be held in an open-house format. There will not be a formal presentation; however, FDOT representatives will be available to discuss the project and answer questions. If you cannot attend the meeting, please join us online by visiting: www.brooksbridgereplacement.com. The online meeting can be accessed anywhere, anytime from May 17 through May 31, and will provide the same information as the in-person meeting.
