On December 21, 2006, the
I-95 Mobility 2000 project office completed the fourth of eight (8) projects
along the Palm Beach County I-95 corridor.
This project stretched north of Blue Heron Boulevard to just south of
PGA Boulevard, a length of approximately 2.6 miles.
The $68.7 million
project, which began in August of 2002, widened I-95 from six (6) lanes
to ten (10) lanes along this section. The work included
replacing the existing bridges over Northlake Boulevard, Holly Drive
and Burns Road, adding auxiliary lanes along portions of the mainline
between interchanges, and modifications were made to the mainline, mainline
ramps, side streets, and side street ramp terminals at Northlake Boulevard
and PGA Boulevard. The project also included drainage improvements, sound
barrier walls, retaining walls, signing and pavement marking, signalization,
lighting, landscaping, and irrigation and communications elements.
PCL
Civil Constructors was awarded the contract, and given an original contract
time of 1500 calendar days for completion. Due to the hurricanes
of 2004 and 2005, and in addition to other inclement weather, the project
was extended by 98 days. However, the contractor completed the project
within 1594 contract days.
