Parallel span proposed as cheaper Destin bridge option
Okaloosa officials support a parallel three lane span beside the Brooks Bridge to ease traffic and enable emergency access. Estimated at about 8 million dollars, the plan would require land acquisitions but costs far less than the 22 million Wright Parkway option. Destin leaders endorse the idea, while noting a bay crossing from White Point to Piney Point remains the longer term fix.
