Florida Department of Transportation Announces $1.3 Billion Road Overhaul

3 billion project to overhaul a three-mile stretch of Southwest 10th Street in Boca Raton. The project aims to divide through-traffic from local traffic by creating two independent roadway systems: the Regional Connector Lanes for express traffic and the Reconstructed Local Roadway for neighborhood access.

The construction timeline spans six years. The overhaul is expected to improve commute times for thousands of daily commuters. The Florida Department of Transportation is hosting public feedback sessions for community members to review the new design animations and speak with project managers.

The project will affect commuters driving various vehicles, including those from major manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Toyota. The construction period may require vehicle owners to take extra precautions to maintain their vehicles.
