State Road 388 (SR 388) is a 12.3-mile-long (19.8 km) state highway in Bay County, Florida, that runs from SR 79 and West Bay Parkway northeast of West Bay east to SR 77 and Edwards Road southeast of Vicksburg. It is named the Don Johnson Memorial Highway.
The highway connects Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport with the rest of the Panama City–Lynn Haven, Florida metropolitan statistical area, as well as providing a major thoroughfare for commuters to travel around the north side of St. Andrews Bay.
Route description
SR 388 begins at an intersection with SR 79 and West Bay Parkway north of the settlement of West Bay. The route travels east, crossing Crooked Creek on a bridge, before intersecting with the western segment of CR 388. Continuing slightly northeast, it reaches a roundabout with another West Bay Parkway, the access road for Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. Continuing further northeast, it crosses Burnt Mill Creek on a bridge before continuing due east until it terminates at an intersection with SR 77 and Edwards Road near the ghost town of Vicksburg.
History
The western segment of CR 388 was formerly a segment of SR 388. However, SR 388 was realigned onto a 4-mile-long (6.4 km) four-lane divided highway segment with bike lanes to the north, along with a roundabout being added to its intersection with the West Bay Parkway which leads to Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, and a multi-use path on the south side of the road. The project cost $51 million, with the westbound lanes opening to traffic on December 6, 2022, and the eastbound lanes on February 22, 2023.
The eastern segment of CR 388 was also a former segment of SR 388.
