Chipley, Fla. – Both northbound travel lanes of Ninth Avenue (State Road 289) will remain closed at the Carpenters Creek Bridge through Wednesday, March 10 as crews continue drainage work in the area. One lane of traffic in each direction will remain open.  

Beginning Thursday, March 11, the north and southbound left lanes of Ninth Avenue over Carpenters Creek will be closed as bridge work begins. The right lanes will remain open. Traffic is expected to continue in this configuration through late April.  

All construction activities are weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.  

North Ninth Avenue is the focus of a $4.3 million construction project that is replacing the existing bridge over Carpenters Creek. Construction crews will also resurface the roadway between Royce Street and Bayou Boulevard, along with a portion of Carpenters Creek Drive. The project is estimated for completion in mid-2022.
