    Gulf Islands National Seashore Reopens Fort Pickens Road  
     
    GULF BREEZE, Fla. – Gulf Islands National Seashore will reopen the Fort Pickens Road today at noon.  
     
    The Fort Pickens Road was closed yesterday afternoon due to sand and standing flood waters covering the road making sections of the road impassable by passenger vehicles. Park staff have assessed the area and water is anticipated to recede sufficiently to reopen the area today at noon. 
     
    “Our priority at Gulf Islands is to ensure the safest environment possible for park visitors and staff.” said Superintendent Darrell Echols. “Visitors should be cautious and travel slowly as there is still standing water and sand on Fort Pickens Road.  Some areas may be deep for certain vehicles.”
