Starting Monday, Lawrence Road is getting a makeover, and that means you'll need to chart a new course. The stretch between Hypoluxo Road and Lantana Road shuts down at 9:00 a.m. for a canal culvert replacement, as per Palm Beach County officials. The closure is expected to last until March 26, so plan on using S. Congress Avenue or S. Military Trail to detour around the construction.
The detours will reroute traffic via Lantana Road or Hypoluxo Road, but don't worry, locals — you can still cruise between Hypoluxo and Tallulah Road. It's part of the county's larger plan to keep the water flowing and the roads safe. According to a Palm Beach County statement, the authorities are banking on a swift completion to minimize the disruption to the daily grind.
While no major traffic jams are expected, it's always best to give yourself a little extra time to navigate the detours. The county is pushing for all hands on deck to expedite the process and get things back to normal. Be sure to stay tuned for any updates on the project's progress.
