Brooks Bridge, Road bridge in Fort Walton Beach, United States.

Brooks Bridge is a four-lane steel and concrete bridge carrying U.S. Route 98 over Santa Rosa Sound, just west of Choctawhatchee Bay, between downtown Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island. It has a charted clearance of 50 feet (15 m) above the water at mile 223 of the Gulf Coast Intracoastal Waterway.

The present bridge opened in 1966, replacing an earlier movable steel structure from the 1930s that could swing up for passing ships. This change reflects how regional traffic and design standards evolved over the decades.

The bridge takes its name from John Thomas Brooks, who bought 111 acres of what became downtown Fort Walton Beach in 1868; the northern landing was called Brooks Landing. As the only crossing of Santa Rosa Sound, it carries US 98 between the mainland and Okaloosa Island, with a charted clearance of 50 feet for boats on the Gulf Coast Intracoastal Waterway.

Traffic patterns may shift during ongoing construction as the bridge undergoes expansion to six lanes. Travelers should allow flexibility in their schedules and consider alternate routes when planning trips to and from the island.

The reconstruction project includes a specially designed underpass section to manage traffic flowing to and from Santa Rosa Boulevard. This feature demonstrates how the modernization addresses the area's complex traffic network.
