Okeechobee Boulevard loses its inside lanes overnight from Military Trail to I-95 through Oct. 23. Also: U.S. 1 night paving and Flagler Drive closures.

Last checked Oct. 20, 2026, against the Florida Department of Transportation’s Palm Beach County traffic report for Oct. 16-23 (PDF) and the city’s Road and Dock report for Oct. 15, the latest the city has posted; its next report is due Thursday. This page is refreshed every week.

Most of the big road work in West Palm Beach is on state roads, which the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 4 manages: Okeechobee Boulevard, U.S. 1, Southern Boulevard, the Beeline Highway and I-95. The city maintains 259 miles of its own streets and publishes a weekly Road and Dock report. Below are this week’s state closures in and next to the city, then the city’s own closures and projects.
