The Big Picture: The headline number for the week is the I-95/Boynton Beach Boulevard interchange — a $64 million job that’s turning nights into a lane-closure obstacle course through 2029. But the real slow bleed is out west, where S.R. 700/Conners Highway is simply closed, and up north, where the $148.2 million Beeline Highway rebuild has more shifted lanes than a game of Tetris. Add the weekend shutdown of Royal Palm Way in Palm Beach and the still-closed Earman River channel, and FDOT’s message is clear: budget extra time, everywhere, all week.
