The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in Chipley, FL is currently conducting the State Road S.R. 85 Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study, which aims to explore replacement alternatives for widening S.R. 85 and improving intersections and the interchange at S.R. 8 Interstate 10 (I-10). The project's purpose is to alleviate congestion, enhance traffic flow, and improve safety along S.R. 85 from S.R. 123 to Mirage Avenue, as it currently operates at an unacceptable level of service and experiences peak congestion resulting in significant travel times.

S.R. 85 serves as a vital connection between north and south Okaloosa County and is designated as a Strategic Intermodal System and Military Access Facility. The study area spans from S.R. 123 to Mirage Avenue, with two segments being evaluated for widening alternatives. The project schedule involves incorporating public input from virtual meetings into the decision-making process, followed by the preparation of draft environmental and preliminary engineering documents, identification of a preferred alternative, and a public hearing anticipated to be held in the spring of 2021.
