(BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Twenty-five. That’s how many lane closures, detours and full shutdowns stand between you and wherever you’re going this week, from U.S. 1 in Boca Raton to the cane fields along U.S. 27. Palm Beach County once again didn’t update its road and bridge list, so all 25 come courtesy of FDOT: 17 major construction projects plus 8 maintenance, utility and permit jobs. The headliner: Military Trail is closed outright between 10th Avenue North and Cresthaven Boulevard until further notice due to last week’s plane crash.

Major FDOT Highway Projects
