Starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, August 1, the intersection of Northlake Boulevard and Beeline Highway will be closed continuously through Sunday, August 10. The closure is necessary to allow CSX to perform railroad track replacement and signalization improvements.
During the closure, traffic will be detoured via Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, Southern Boulevard, Military Trail, and Northlake Boulevard. Additional alternate routes include Coconut Boulevard, Orange Boulevard, Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, 60th Street, State Road 7, and Okeechobee Boulevard. Detour signage will be posted along these routes, and law enforcement officers will be on-site to assist with traffic flow. Traffic signals along the primary detour routes will be temporarily retimed and continuously monitored to accommodate the increased traffic volume during the closure period.
Emergency and first responder vehicles will have uninterrupted access to the closed intersection and surrounding areas throughout the duration of the work.
Motorists are strongly advised to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and ensure their vehicles are fueled before traveling through the affected area of the county. Individuals and employers are invited to consider adjusting work schedules, if possible, to help ease traffic congestion during the closure.
