TRAFFIC ALERT: I-95, Turnpike, A1A Undergoing Major Road Work This Week

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — We are calling this “Cone Season” and it shows no signs of letting up. FDOT’s latest construction and lane-closure rundown makes it clear that your commute is going to be slow — very slow — in many parts of Palm Beach County. With thanks to FDOT, here’s a look at what will really annoy you over the next several days:

Interstate 95

The Big Picture

Nothing on this list is new territory for Palm Beach County drivers — I-95, the Turnpike, Atlantic Avenue and A1A have all been under some form of construction for months, and most of it stretches well into 2027, 2028 and even 2029. The common thread this week is overnight lane closures clustered between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m., so daytime commutes are largely unaffected outside a handful of daytime work zones on U.S. 441, U.S. 1 and I-95 near Forest Hill Boulevard. Budget extra time after dark, especially around the Boynton Beach Boulevard interchange and the Beeline Highway corridor, where the closures are heaviest and the detours are the most convoluted.
