Construction started on Segment 3 of the Front Beach Road CRA (Community Redevelopment Area) in early 2021. Segment 3 runs from the intersection of State Road 79 (Arnold Road) and Panama City Beach Parkway and includes Front Beach Road east to Lullwater Drive. This project includes the construction of a roundabout in the area shown above in what used to be called the Y at the Arnold/Front Beach Road intersection.

This 1.2-mile project includes new traffic lanes, turning lanes, a roundabout at 79 and Front Beach where the Y currently exists, landscaped medians, transit/bicycle lanes, sidewalks, lighting, signalization, landscaping, utility undergrounding, stormwater retention, signage and pavement markings.

The low bidder on the project was GAC Contractors, at approximately $28 million. C.W. Roberts took over the project not long after it began. Several change orders and inclement weather has extended the original 18-month contract.
