Loxahatchee Road Closure

Lox Road is closed from Parkside Drive to U.S. 441, for roundabout construction. This will be a full closure, and resident access will be maintained. 

Detour route:

Motorists will be detoured via Parkside Drive, Holmberg Road and U.S. 441/S.R. 7. Signage will be in place to guide motorists through the detour.

As part of the Loxahatchee Road Improvements Project, crews will begin with phased roadway improvements on Loxahatchee Road between Parkside Drive and U.S. 441/S.R. 7, including the construction of the roundabout at Parkside Drive, starting Jan. 12, 2026. To ensure community and public safety, Loxahatchee Road between Parkside Drive and U.S. 441/S.R. 7 will be closed and traffic will be detoured through Fall of 2026. Business and residential access (Local Access) will be maintained at all times throughout construction. To ensure overall safety, FDOT urges motorists to use precaution as they traverse through the area.

The improvements include drainage installation, roadway widening, guardrail and guiderail installation, gravity wall construction, and new sidewalks. 

Roadway improvements will be constructed in two phases: 

• Phase 1 is scheduled to begin from Jan. 12 through April and will have limits from Parkside Drive to NW 61st Way. 
• Phase 2 is scheduled from April through Fall 2026 and will have limits from NW 61st Way to U.S. 441/S.R. 7.
• Throughout both phases, Loxahatchee Road from Parkside Drive to U.S. 441/S.R. 7 will be closed and traffic will be detoured. Local access will be maintained. 

Please note that dates are subject to shift due to weather or unforeseen conditions. 

Hillsboro Boulevard Improvements

Broward County continues roadwork on Hillsboro Boulevard, from Parkside Drive to U.S. 441. The long-term project will include the construction of bike lanes and a roundabout, lighting, improved ADA accessibility, and the installation of a high‐intensity activated crosswalk (HAWK) signal between Northwest 79th Drive and Northwest 76th Drive.

The work, which will take place over a year's time, will involve lane closures and change traffic flow patterns on Hillsboro, but motorists and travelers will continue to have access to west- and eastbound lanes. 

Remember to:

• Stay alert and be aware of traffic pattern shifts in the area.
• Travel with caution and remember to yield to pedestrian traffic along Hillsboro Blvd.

Loxahatchee Road

As road improvements continue on Lox Road, there will be additional lane closures and detours for ongoing construction for this approximately mile-long span. Motorists should continue to drive with extreme caution and bicyclists and pedestrians should continue to seek alternate routes. Access to local roads and residential properties between the work zones will continue to be maintained and every effort will be made to minimize traffic impacts. Residents will continue to be informed with advance notice, about future closures on Lox Road. The Lox Road improvement project is a multi-year project scheduled to be complete in 2027 and it is designed to increase safety and provide traffic calming.  

The Lox Road Improvement Project spearheaded by the Florida Department of Transportation began October 30, 2023.
