SANTA ROSA BEACH - Southbound traffic on U.S. Highway 331 will be shifted today to a new temporary lane between the south end of the Clyde B. Wells Bridge and Chat Holley
Road while northbound traffic will be shifted to the center portion of the road.
The lane shift will allow preliminary construction to begin for a new U.S. 331 bridge. One lane of traffic will remain open in each direction at all times.
The lane shift will permanently close access to the boat launch at the southeast corner of the bridge. A new boat launch and recreational area is part of the bridge project.
