Summary for August 6-7, 2025
CSX Railroad Rehabilitation Project:
Construction crews continue to make significant progress as part of the ongoing CSX crossing, and work remains on track to meet the planned reopening date of Aug. 10.
-
Track Work: Crews installed concrete panels across the track in the afternoon after track surfacing in preparation for restoring vehicular traffic. They also placed ballast rock in areas adjacent to the track so that the roadway base could be constructed. They continue to monitor the track to ensure no additional settlement occurs and clean up materials in the areas adjacent to the tracks and track area.
-
Signal Work: Crews completed wiring and testing of their temporary cantilever signal structure and gate system along eastbound Northlake Boulevard at the crossing, and they are functioning as intended.
-
Traffic Operations: The FDOT contractor continues to monitor maintenance of traffic (MOT) operations.
-
Utility Coordination: The City of West Palm Beach's contractor is continuing with the relocation of 120 feet of watermain at the western limits of our project.

FDOT crews continued
anchoring the temporary concrete barrier wall (TCBW), and installing temporary crash attenuators in preparation for the traffic shift accompanying the closure. Continued compacting base and grading the median area adjacent to the tracks in preparation for placement of the roadway base for the temporary asphalt. Shifted traffic signal heads on existing mast arms to align with the eastbound Northlake Boulevard traffic shift. Today, the contractor is finishing the construction of the temporary roadway base. Temporary asphalt placement is expected this evening in order to complete temporary pavement in the existing median.
