Major Northlake Interchange Overhaul Starts Friday
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · November 10, 2026
Take an extra sip of coffee before the evening rush — the planning board gathers at 6:00 PM tonight to review a major 72-unit residential proposal off Howell Lane.
The Lead
Drivers who regularly navigate the busy bottleneck where Interstate 95 meets Northlake Boulevard should brace for a long-term overhaul. The Florida Department of Transportation is launching a $54 million reconstruction of the interchange this Friday, November 13, kicking off three years of heavy roadwork designed to unclog one of northern Palm Beach County's tightest corridors.
The project will widen the I-95 exit ramps, add wrong-way vehicle detection systems, and carve out a fourth through-lane along Northlake Boulevard beneath the highway overpass. Crews will also resurface pavement, install new traffic signals, and construct dedicated bicycle lanes between Military Trail and Silverthorne Drive.
Before heavy machinery arrives at the site, state project managers will host an open-house briefing at City Hall this Thursday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, giving commuters an early look at detour plans and construction phases.

Spotlight & Story
- Donald Ross Road
- Drivers often assume this northern artery honors the famous golf course architect. Instead, it commemorates Lt. Donald Alexander Ross, a local boy who earned the Silver Star leading tanks in North Africa before falling at Remagen in 1945.
