Northlake Boulevard Lane Cuts Start at 9 AM — Detour Advice Inside

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · October 8, 2026

Give yourself an extra ten minutes if you are crossing town after breakfast — road crews take over the Northlake and Beeline intersection starting at 9 AM sharp.

The Lead

The Florida Department of Transportation is bringing fresh traffic cones to Northlake Boulevard today as crews push ahead on the massive Beeline Highway reconstruction. Westbound travel lanes will shut down starting at 9:00 AM near the intersection, followed by eastbound lane restrictions rolling out after 10:30 AM.

The mid-morning closures will pinch one of the northern corridor's most vital east-west arteries, where construction teams are building out a continuous flow intersection and widening the highway to six lanes. Motorists commuting between Interstate 95, the Turnpike, and western neighborhoods like Avenir should expect severe bottlenecks throughout midday. Rather than idling in the merge, consider routing around the pinch point via PGA Boulevard to the north or Blue Heron Boulevard to the south. Flaggers will guide traffic through single-lane queues until crews reopen the corridors ahead of the evening rush.
