MAJOR DELAYS, CONFUSION. WILL AFFECT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING ELDERLY DRIVERS.
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Lyons Road near Century Village will be completely closed northbound for several days. Palm Beach County just made the announcement to BocaNewsNow.com. Here’s what you need to know:
“The Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (PBCWUD) will be using licensed contractors to perform critical infrastructure upgrades, resulting in a temporary closure of northbound Lyons Road between New England Boulevard and Century Village Boulevard in Boca Raton.
This northbound Lyons Road closure in the Century Village area is scheduled to begin on Friday, May 29, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., and is scheduled to be completed on Monday, June 1, 2026, at 6:00 a.m.
With this temporary closure, motorists with final destinations on Century Village Boulevard will be routed to detour west on Kimberly Boulevard, north along State Road 7/ US Highway 441, east on Yamato Road and then south on Lyons Road to reach their destination within Century Village. Digital indicators, safety devices and visible work zone perimeters are in place to guide motorists (see illustration below).
This work is ongoing as part of a multi-year, multi-phase water reclamation pipeline which is being installed to supply area communities with high-quality reclaimed water for their irrigation and landscape needs. Reclaimed water allows communities to irrigate their landscapes, golf courses and scenic waterways, and provides critical aquifer recharge through popular community recreation sites such as Green Cay and Wakodahatchee wetlands.
PBCWUD apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates the community’s patience as this work is completed safely and efficiently.”
