Drivers across Palm Beach County face 25 lane closures, detours and full shutdowns this week, according to the Florida Department of Transportation. The list covers projects from U.S. 1 in Boca Raton to the agricultural area along U.S. 27. Of the total, 17 are major construction projects and eight are maintenance, utility and permit jobs.
The biggest change is on Military Trail, which is closed between 10th Avenue North and Cresthaven Boulevard until further notice. The closure follows a plane crash last week. No reopening date has been announced.
Interstate 95 remains a nightly problem near Boynton Beach Boulevard. Northlake Boulevard joins the list of affected roads Friday. Veterans Day, Wednesday, brings a one-day break in Boynton Beach, and no lane closures are scheduled that day on the Beeline Highway or the Earman River Bridge projects.
In Boca Raton, U.S. 1 is affected by a downtown resurfacing job and a new bus shelter project that recently started. South County Road on the island is in its final paving stretch. Westbound drivers on U.S. 441 face several closures, and an overnight U.S. 1 closure is planned in West Palm Beach.
Palm Beach County did not update its own road and bridge list this week, so the figures come from FDOT alone. Commuters should check FDOT’s lane closure information before heading out.
