The Brooks Bridge construction zone extends into the Okaloosa County “minimum wake zone” within the Santa Rosa Sound. Any vessel operating in a speed zone posted as "Slow Down - Minimum Wake" must operate fully off-plane and be completely settled in the water.
In addition to being a minimum wake zone, the construction zone extends 1,000-feet from all Brooks Bridge construction activities. In the active work zone, a vessel's wake must not be excessive nor create a hazard for other vessels, construction equipment, or workers.
