Southern Palm Beach County
Avenue (S.R. 806) from Via Flora to McNab Avenue
This $3.6 million, 2.7 mile construction project began on December 1, 2008, between Via Flora and McNab Avenue in Delray Beach. The work to be performed during this project includes: milling and resurfacing the roadway; replacing sidewalk curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards; and signalization, widening, and storm water drainage improvements at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Congress Avenue. The project is being built by Weekley Asphalt Paving, Inc. and is expected to be complete in fall 2009.

Restriction: Two lanes on Atlantic Avenue will be closed nightly, Sunday through Friday from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m., between Via Flora and McNab Avenue for paving operations. Daytime lane closures will also occur, between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., at various locations, Monday through Friday for other project-related work. At least one lane will remain open in each direction at all times. Paving is a rolling operation that requires shifting lane closures. Workers and heavy machinery will be moving in and around the work zone. Motorists should use caution and anticipate delays when traveling through this area.
