Protected Bike Lane Construction Advances Along Burns Road

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · August 23, 2026

Sunday quiet is settling in across the neighborhood, though if you're planning a splash pad visit at the Burns Road Aquatic Complex today, take note of the adjusted noon opening.


The Lead

Crews are pushing ahead on the new two-way cycle track along the south side of Burns Road, bringing physically separated bike lanes closer to completion. The project establishes a concrete curb buffer between vehicular traffic and cyclists along the stretch connecting Military Trail to the traffic signal at the Weiss School.

For local families, morning commuters, and students, the upgrade addresses a longstanding safety gap along one of the area's busiest east-west corridors. By replacing shared shoulder lanes with a protected path, the city aims to encourage non-motorized travel to the nearby recreation center, aquatic complex, and area schools.

Contractors continue periodic single-lane closures during work hours, though at least one lane of vehicular traffic remains open at all times. Construction remains on schedule to wrap up by late November, completing the first major segment of the city's broader multi-modal trail plan.
