Lane Closures on Beeline Highway and Turnpike Start Today
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · September 15, 2026
Give yourself an extra ten minutes on the drive west today. FDOT crews are setting up fresh lane closures along Beeline Highway and narrowing the Turnpike overpass before nightfall.
The Lead
Commuters navigating the western edge of town face fresh bottlenecks starting this morning as the Florida Department of Transportation shifts gear on its $148.2 million State Road 710 reconstruction. Beginning today, crews will shutter one inside lane in each direction along Beeline Highway from Jog Road to the Florida’s Turnpike overpass daily between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM through Friday. Drivers utilizing the Turnpike won't escape the orange cones either; starting tonight, contractors will close one outside lane in both directions at the Beeline overpass from 9:00 PM until 5:00 AM tomorrow. While the multi-year venture ultimately widens the thoroughfare to six lanes and untangles the Northlake Boulevard intersection, today marks the start of noticeable daily detours and delays. Plan alternate routes along PGA Boulevard or build substantial cushion into your cross-county commute.

Spotlight & Story
- Karen T. Marcus Sandhill Crane Access Park
- Perched where PGA Boulevard gives way to western wetlands, this C-18 Canal launch hides a quiet distinction. Beyond its lookout tower, the slow-moving canal waters beside the boardwalk feed directly into the Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee, Florida’s first federally designated Wild and Scenic River.
