The proposed project will enhance safety, reduce travel delays and improve access to and from the Port of Panama City, Gulf Coast State College and Florida State University Panama City campus. FDOT plans to add an elevated roadway at the intersection of U.S. 98 and 23rd Street along with drainage improvements, a storm water treatment facility, signalization upgrades, new signage and pavement markings. Pedestrian and bicycle features are part of this intersection reconstruction project. Construction is currently scheduled to begin summer 2015.
