N. Highway 395 Construction

Yes. It will extend the current one from 98 to about the church. Although some trees are being lost it will be nice for people to be able to ride and walk the path to schools, churches, state park....

It looks like they are starting to build a bike path on the west side of 395 north, directly adjacent to the road. It's very preliminary, but I think all bike paths should be separated from the roads they parallel.

Still a bit early to tell but I think it will be on east side and separated from road.

Nearly 2 months into this and we have half a mile of a dirt road so rutted out it's barely drivable.

Yup it's a mess but we have very attractive dancing stop/slow sign ladies.

Memorial day madness in one week and change.

Wow what a mess from the recent rains. It's treacherous!

I can't understand why the ripped up one section and leave it unpaved for so long. Work has slowed to a crawl.

As most area residents and travelers are aware, the CR 395 North Reconstruction Project is currently underway.



Due to the excessive amount of rain and heavy traffic on the unpaved portion of CR 395, the segment of roadway between US 98 and East Point Washington Road will be closed to allow for the preparation for paving beginning, weather permitting, Saturday morning, May 30, 3026.



Traffic will be detoured to East Point Washington Road to CR 83. The detour will remain in place until the paving of that segment is complete.



We appreciate the public’s patience as we work to improve this important thoroughfare.

Unbelievable. They should have had blacktop down days after tearing it up. Somebody in old point Washington must have really pissed off Walton County.

It's been a third world country forest road and there are thousands of trips per day on it. Unreal.

Now dealing with trerrible road and a detour ...

Again I just have to wonder why they tore up a loooong section of road 2 months ago and not right before paving? And all the other work on shoulders stopped long ago. WTF is going on Walton County!!!????

Heavy rain on 395 for about an hour with more to come. Ugh.

Looking back on this thread, they started work on north 395 probably about April 7th, a full month and a half ago. And they seem nowhere near finished.

The very painful detour was in place all last weekend, and while using it several times I saw absolutely nothing being done as far as construction goes, and there were many dry weather gaps. Maybe it is too swampy to do anything at this point, which is really bad given summer showers.

Just went by there. No workers except near Eden they had half the road blocked and a a hole dug 15 feet deep. Hit a water main or something. The unpaved portion closed off looked Relatively dry.

Not easy constructing a real road from a path that had some asphalt laid on it many years ago. Building a real road on sand is not easy but complaining about it seems to be!

Says the guy who doesn't have to drive on it.

Very funny - since I volunteer at Point Washington Medical Clinic and have 2 children and 5 grandchildren who live in the area I am on the road 4 - 6 times a week.

Thank you for your service old man. Why do you think they tore up the road and let it get worse and worse for 6 weeks while it was dry? Why no work at night? Why the absence of workers all day?

Not much progress - think it will be open by school start?

Only one crew this week and none today.

I've been on the road a dozen times over the past 2 weeks and most of the time not a single worker in sight. Occasionally there is one crew working on drainage.

FWIW I was told original completion date was October, but is now December due to rain delays.
