Navarre and Navarre Beach News!

The next time you're visiting, look for changes in Navarre and Navarre Beach!

For those heading over the Causeway to Navarre Beach, once it's installed, the first thing you'll see is a BRAND NEW, "Intelligent Traffic System" at the Gulf Boulevard intersection. This new system allows for the light to be managed in real-time depending on traffic flow.  For those who love Navarre Beach they've hated the slow, often-times standstill traffic that backs up as the day progresses.  This light will help alleviate the stop and go issues we all have experienced.  One day we hope there will be a better solution, but for now it's a start!
