On June 25, 2008, the I-95 Mobility 2000 project office completed the sixth of nine (9) projects along the I-95 corridor in Palm Beach County. This project covered nearly three (3) miles of I-95 roadway, beginning at 10th Ave. North and ending at Southern Blvd (SR 80).

The $46.1 million project, which began in January of 2004, widened I-95 from six (6) lanes to ten (10) lanes along this section. The work included widening the existing bridges over 17th Avenue North, Forest Hill Boulevard, and Summit Boulevard, replacing the existing bridge over the C-51 Canal, and reconstructing the mainline ramps. The project also included drainage improvements, sound barrier walls, retaining walls, signing and pavement marking, lighting, landscaping, irrigation, and communications elements.
