Beeline Corridor Upgrades and Sunday Events Around Town
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · August 16, 2026
Annual maintenance wraps up at local recreation facilities today, making it a great afternoon to grab a cold drink and settle into a relaxed Sunday.
The Lead
Engineers are pushing ahead with major infrastructure shifts along the Beeline Highway corridor, where work continues on a landmark Continuous Flow Intersection at Northlake Boulevard. Designed to unclog one of the region's most stubborn western choke points, the project redirects left-turning traffic across opposing lanes hundreds of feet before the main signal. Crews are widening three miles of highway to six lanes and replacing the Florida's Turnpike overpass bridge.
For commuters heading toward I-95 or western neighborhoods, the redesign aims to slash peak-hour delays significantly while introducing dedicated bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks. Overnight lane shifts remain active along the stretch, with signal testing and surface striping framing the next phase of construction.
