U.S. 98 Pedestrian Underpass In Inlet Beach, Walton County, FL
FDOT constructed a lighted pedestrian underpass beneath U.S. 98, located just east of County Road 30A in Inlet Beach, a highly anticipated project for this rapidly growing community.
The Walton County Tourism Development Council, Scenic Walton, local business owners, and the Walton County Commission worked together to make the project a reality. This intersection serves as a major gateway to the beaches of South Walton along County Road 30A, which sees an average annual daily traffic count of approximately 28,000 vehicles.
ABC Group played a pivotal role by creating and executing a comprehensive community awareness plan. This included developing direct-mail notifications, producing materials, and conducting door-to-door canvassing efforts for property owners in the work zone. Maintaining clear and consistent communication with the community was essential to preserving strong relationships with stakeholders and ensuring the project’s smooth progress.
