Evacuation Routes in Walton County
U.S. 331 is the only evacuation route for
those leaving south Walton after a general evacuation has
been ordered.
The Choctawhatchee Bay Bridge (Clyde B.Wells Bridge)
will be closed when sustained winds reach 40 miles per
hour.
When the bridge is closed to traffic there is no means of
leaving south Walton County because Bay and Okaloosa
counties also close their bridges at Phillips Inlet and at the
Destin East Pass.
Before the bridge is closed, both lanes of 331 may be
routed with northbound traffic only.
Once travelers reach the intersection of U.S. 331 and SR
20 in Freeport,Walton County Sheriff?s deputies will
direct traffic in two directions.
Cars in the right lane of U.S. 331 will be directed
right on SR20 to Bruce, FL where they will be
directed again by deputies to turn left and go
north on SR 81 to Ponce de Leon.
In Ponce de Leon traffic can continue north on SR 81 into
Alabama or take I-10 east or west.
Cars in the left lane of U.S. 331 will turn left on
SR20 and then right on U.S. 331 North to
DeFuniak Springs. Once in DeFuniak Springs,
motorists can take I-10 east or west, proceed on
U.S. 331 North to Alabama, or take SR 83 in
DeFuniak Springs into Alabama.
