Boca Raton Federal Highway Lane Closures Begin, Set to Last 10 Weeks
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Plan for a slower drive on Federal Highway. Lane closures tied to the Florida Department of Transportation’s US 1 project started Monday, Oct. 19, and are expected to stay in place for roughly 10 weeks. Between SE 5th Street/SE Mizner Boulevard and NE 8th Street/Mizner Boulevard, traffic drops to one lane in both directions from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. while crews work in the median. Farther south, between Camino Real and SE 5th Street, single-lane closures are allowed in either direction with no time restrictions. Two-lane closures are permitted on that stretch during non-peak hours on non-event days, nights and weekends — northbound from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m., and southbound from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. FDOT says access to businesses and homes will be maintained at all times, and the speed limit stays at 35 mph.

Fuel-pump reopening delayed at under-renovation Palm Beach gas station
Palm Beach motorists will have to wait a little while longer to fill up their fuel tanks on the island, as the project to revamp the town's sole gas station is taking longer than originally planned to complete. Fuel pumps at the gas station at 340 S.

The service shop is tentatively set to open in January and the store in February, he said. The pumps were originally expected to be in service this month, with the other facilities open by the end of the year. Giswold said construction delays affected the schedule.
