MILTON — The following roads and bridges in Santa Rosa County are closed due to water over the roadway according to the Santa Rosa County Commission:

  • West Spencerfield Road at Highway 90
  • Highway 90 in the westbound lane at Glover Lane
  • Avalon Boulevard’s northbound lane at I-10 and some issues with on-ramps
  • Giddens Road
  • Hamilton Bridge Road at Pond Creek

Santa Rosa County is experiencing heavy rain across the central portion of the county resulting in standing water on all roadways. Use caution when driving. Standing water creates a serious road hazard, even when only a portion of the roadway is flooded. Motorists should always avoid crossing flooded streets and should never attempt to cross flooded bridges. Remember. Turn around. Don't drown. The county will announce any additional road closures as they occur.
