CHIPLEY — The Florida Department of Transportation is suspending construction projects on all major roadways across Northwest Florida through Sunday.
Although no closures are scheduled, existing state highway work zones will remain in effect, according to the agency, and motorists should use caution while traveling through work zones.
As the holiday weekend kicks off, FDOT is encouraging drivers to take extra caution by allowing extra travel time, buckling up and never drinking and driving. Drivers should also prepare for unscheduled closures due to accidents and other unforeseen events.
