BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2022 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The pop-up construction now snarling traffic on Clint Moore Road betwen U.S. 441 to east of Lyons Road will continue for several months, according to information provided to BocaNewsNow.com from the Palm Beach County Engineering and Public Works Department.
BocaNewsNow.com first reported on the project several days ago, as the lane closures exacerbated the dormant $10M road widening project on Lyons Road that’s leading to massive traffic tie-ups and crashes. The Lyons Road project — first expected to be completed by the end of the year — is now expected to continue well into the spring of 2023. Unmapped utility lines under Lyons Road required an emergency work stoppage several months ago. The work has yet to resume.
On Clint Moore, a smaller road widening project was supposed to have little overlap with the Lyons Road situation, but that was before the Lyons Road emergency stoppage. Palm Beach County Officials say that the $800,000 Clint Moore project was always slated to start in September and couldn’t be delayed. The overlap is now significant and causing problems. Clint Moore is down to one lane in each direction at the Lyons Road intersection, and there are turning lane restrictions on Lyons Road — both north and south — at Clint Moore.
The Clint Moore project is expected to continue at least through Thanksgiving.
