here is the way we go, we make this trip a lot. From Montgomery 65 south to Georgiana 106 east to 55/us31 south to andalusia exit Andalusia on US 29 to US 137. US 137 becomes Florida 189 at the Fl state Line 189 becomes Florida 4 south at baker, In Milligan take US 90 east to Antioch Road. Antioch becomes PJ Adams and comes out on FL 85. Go south to the new Niceville bypass ( photo toll road)and it will take you to the toll bridge.
I know this sounds crazy but it's a really easy drive with way less traffic.
331 no way I would drive on that road.
