The FDOT’s US-1 Bike Lane Widening project has begun. The project will widen the existing bike lanes from 3 feet to 5 feet from Sample Road north to the Broward County / Palm Beach County line. It also includes new pavement, pavement markings, various sidewalk repairs and ADA sidewalk ramp improvements. The project shrinks the medians in US-1 by 2 feet on both sides to gain the necessary space to widen the bike lanes.
One inside lane in each direction will be closed intermittently on Federal Highway from Sample Road to the Broward / Palm Beach County Line to reduce the width of the median for roadway widening. This closure may be in place for approximately three months.
Construction activities associated with the widening will take place Monday through Friday, from 7 am to 5 pm. Beginning on Wednesday, August 12, the contractor will be working on the next segment on Federal Highway from NE 2nd Court to the Broward / Palm Beach County line. Several median crossovers along Federal Highway will be temporarily closed during construction. Access to businesses and residences will be maintained using the closest median opening or intersection.
UPDATE: Median modifications in the City of Lighthouse Point are nearing completion. Sidewalk modifications and repairs will commence upon median completion. Present project completion date is March, 2021.
