Deer Lake bridge Status

Nope

Well poo! Thanks for the reply.

A local who called was told March 11 but possibly earlier. Take with a big grain of salt. Raining all day today and forecast to rain Saturday.

Thanks for update. I am returning March 11, be a nice homecoming gift!

Hooray!!!The bridge at Deer Lake is now open. It opened on Friday...finally.

RELEASE



Deer Lake Bridge is now open on C.R. 30-A

Walton County – March 11, 2024 – County Engineer Chance Powell confirmed that Deer Lake Bridge on C.R. 30-A, which had been closed for repairs, reopened Friday afternoon. The project is not finished yet and there will likely be temporary lane closures as contractors work on final punch list items.

“Right now, crews are working on installing new guard rails. Once that is completed, the work will be temporarily limited until after Spring Break ends, to ensure the smooth flow of traffic,” said Powell.

Additional punch list items, such as grass sodding and site clean-up, will then commence and the project will be finished.

I guessed it had been completed when I noticed a big improvement in traffic on CR 395 and Hwy 98. It's surprising how much traffic had been diverted.
