The event will take place on the newly completed bridge on the north side of the bypass near the intersection of U.S. Highway 90 and Enzor Road.
The bypass project is a joint effort involving Okaloosa County, the Florida Department of Transportation, Triumph Gulf Coast and the city of Crestview. Officials say the project is intended to improve traffic flow and provide additional travel options in the Crestview area.
The Southwest Crestview Bypass includes new roadway designed to improve access to homes, businesses and Pineview School.
Following the ceremony, the roadway is expected to open to traffic at noon. Motorists will be able to access the bypass from Antioch Road on the west, State Road 85 on the east and U.S. Highway 90 from the north.
The project also aligns with an ongoing Florida Department of Transportation interchange project at Interstate 10 and P.J. Adams Parkway, which is expected to connect to the bypass once completed.
The Southwest Crestview Bypass was constructed in phases at a total cost of about $212 million. Funding sources include state transportation grants, the Capital Improvement Program, P.J. Adams Tax Increment Financing, City of Crestview and Okaloosa County infrastructure surtax funds, Florida Department of Transportation work program funds and funding from Triumph Gulf Coast.
