On January 16, 2010, the I-95 Mobility 2000 construction office completed the last of nine (9) I-95 Mobility 2000 projects along the I-95 corridor in Palm Beach County. This project covered nearly five (5) miles of roadway, beginning at Southern Blvd. and ending just north of Palm Beach Lakes Blvd.

Work included replacing the existing bridge over Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., replacing the existing overpass bridges on Congress Avenue and Australian Avenue, and modification of the mainline ramps. The project also included drainage improvements, retaining walls, signing and pavement marking, lighting, irrigation, sound walls, and communications elements.
