Its almost finished. The long awaited four laning of State Road 87 is nearing completion
One of the top priorities of the Navarre Beach Chamber of Commerce as far back as the late 1960s and early 1970s was expansion the road.

Now, almost 45 years later one of the main routes for people in south Santa Rosa to get to I-10 and Milton at the north end, is almost complete.

The final stage of the road project is scheduled for completion in June 2019 after starting in October 2015. Just the 4.2-mile stretch from two miles south of the Yellow River north to Hickory Hammock Road in East Milton cost $29.7 million.  It included an additional two-lane bridge over the Yellow River.
