Brooks Bridge has been serving the Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island as vital connections to the local residents and tourists. The bridge has a lot of traffic during tourist season. It also provides marine traffic below to cross with stoping. The high point provide a good view to the city.
The bridge has narrowed sidewalk and shoulder. Don't worry, a new bridge is planned with larger sidewalk with overlook. Larger shoulders also planed along with more lanes. The new bridge will be higher with taller and wider openings for marine traffic. The local cannot wait for the new bridge to be build.
The bridge under has a park on the west which has fishing locations under the shade. The under bridge parking is free and good access. The east side only has u shape road just to connect north and south of the bridge. Hopefully the new bridge with new roadway system provide a better traffic system. read more
