Good morning,

This is your daily update regarding the full road closure at the CSX Railroad Crossing on Northlake Boulevard just west of SR 710/Beeline Highway.

Closure Dates: August 1-10, 2025

Summary for August 6-7, 2025

 

CSX Railroad Rehabilitation Project:

Construction crews continue to make significant progress as part of the ongoing CSX crossing, and work remains on track to meet the planned reopening date of Aug. 10.

• Track Work: Crews installed concrete panels across the track in the afternoon after track surfacing in preparation for restoring vehicular traffic. They also placed ballast rock in areas adjacent to the track so that the roadway base could be constructed. They continue to monitor the track to ensure no additional settlement occurs and clean up materials in the areas adjacent to the tracks and track area.
• Signal Work: Crews completed wiring and testing of their temporary cantilever signal structure and gate system along eastbound Northlake Boulevard at the crossing, and they are functioning as intended.
• Traffic Operations: The FDOT contractor continues to monitor maintenance of traffic (MOT) operations.
• Utility Coordination: The City of West Palm Beach’s contractor is continuing with the relocation of 120 feet of watermain at the western limits of our project

 SR 710/Beeline Highway Reconstruction Project:

• FDOT crews continued anchoring the temporary concrete barrier wall (TCBW), and installing temporary crash attenuators in preparation for the traffic shift accompanying the closure. Continued compacting base and grading the median area adjacent to the tracks in preparation for placement of the roadway base for the temporary asphalt. Shifted traffic signal heads on existing mast arms to align with the eastbound Northlake Boulevard traffic shift. Today, the contractor is finishing the construction of the temporary roadway base. Temporary asphalt placement is expected this evening in order to complete temporary pavement in the existing median.

 Please be advised that this area is an active construction zone and is closed to all motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. For your safety and the safety of our construction crews, access is strictly prohibited. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to complete this project as safely and efficiently as possible.

Detour Information:
Motorists are being detoured as follows:

• Eastbound on Northlake Boulevard will be detoured west on Northlake Boulevard, south onto Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, east onto SR 80/Southern Boulevard, and then north onto Military Trail to Northlake Boulevard.
• Westbound on Northlake Boulevard will be detoured south on Military Trail, west onto Southern Boulevard, north onto Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, and east to Northlake Boulevard.
• Motorists may also use Coconut Boulevard, Orange Boulevard, Royal Palm Beach Boulevard, 60th Street, US 441/SR 7, or Okeechobee Boulevard as additional alternate routes.

Law enforcement officers will be present throughout the duration of the closure. They will help monitor and manage traffic flow, both within the active construction zone and along the detour routes, to ensure safety for the traveling public and construction crews.

Traffic Management in the Detour Area

To help manage the significant volume of traffic rerouted due to the closure, multiple tools and resources are in place:

• Traffic Signal Adjustments: Real-time monitoring via traffic signal cameras allows the PBC Traffic Engineering Department to make live signal timing adjustments at key intersections.
• Law Enforcement Support: PBSO and local law enforcement are stationed throughout the detour to monitor traffic flow and ensure public safety.
• Drone Monitoring: PBSO is utilizing drone technology to observe traffic patterns and address congestion quickly and efficiently.

I have attached photos of the installation of the traffic panels on the railroad, the traffic shift on eastbound Northlake Blvd with the temporary concrete wall barrier, and the median preparation for the traffic shift for your reference.

We appreciate your patience as the railroad rehabilitation continues. Please drive safely and allow extra travel time.

Thank you,
