State Road 189 (SR 189) is a north–south highway in the panhandle of Florida. It leads from U.S. Route 98 in downtown Fort Walton Beach to just east of State Road 85 at the Eglin AFB West Gate where its southern section terminates. The northern section begins at an intersection with State Road 4 in Baker, Florida north to the Alabama / Florida state line where Alabama State Route 137 begins upon crossing the Alabama state line.
The more common name for the southern portion is Lewis Turner Boulevard.
Both segments were once connected through Eglin AFB.
Part of SR 189 will be resurfaced in 2012.
The Five Mile Bayou bridge is labeled as structurally deficient. There are plans to replace the bridge starting in 2014 with two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction.
The entire route is in Okaloosa County.
County Road 189 is a county extension of State Road 189 in west central Okaloosa County. It spans from I-10 at Exit 45 in Holt as Log Lake Road, where it runs north to the hear of Holt, and turns east in a concurrency with US 90. The concurrency ends in Galliver, where CR 90 turns north and later ends at State Road 4 in Baker, thus becoming a hidden concurrency with SR 4 until it branches off to the north as a state highway.
