BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2022 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Florida Department of Transportation is warning motorists who use Glades Road during off-hours to prepare for a major closure at I-95. The closure is set for Tuesday.
This is how FDOT explains what is happening, and why:
“I-95 northbound at SR-808/Glades Road will be closed overnight, 11 p.m., until 5 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 6 for overhead sign structure installation. During this closure, motorists will be detoured via the I-95 northbound exit to SR-808/ Glades Road, US-1/Federal Highway and SR-794/Yamato Road. Wednesday night, Sept. 7 will be used as contingency if needed. FHP will be on site to assist motorists.
95 Express Lanes Phase 3B-2 will extend the existing Express Lanes north from just south of Glades Road to south of Linton Boulevard in Palm Beach County. One lane will be added and the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane will be converted to create two Express Lanes in each direction; the number of General Use lanes will remain the same.
Access to the Express Lanes will be provided via two designated ingress and egress locations—between Glades Road and Spanish River Boulevard and between Yamato Road and Linton Boulevard. The scope of work includes reconfiguration of the SR 808/Glades Road Interchange to a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI).”
