GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This Alternatives Public Workshop is being held to allow interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design; and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements of SR 710 (Beeline Highway) from one mile east of SR 76 (Kanner Highway) to SR 708 (Blue Heron Boulevard) in Martin and Palm Beach Counties, Florida, a distance of approximately 25 miles. Financial Project Identification (FPID) #’s 419348-1-22-01/419348-2-22-01 and Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) #7151.

The proposed improvements consist of widening SR 710 (Beeline Highway) from approximately one mile east of SR 76 to the Pratt Whitney Entrance from the existing two lanes to four lanes. From the Pratt Whitney Entrance to Northlake Boulevard, no roadway widening is proposed but consideration for a ten-foot shared use path on the north side is being given. From Northlake Boulevard to Blue Heron Boulevard, improvements consist of widening the existing four-lane rural roadway section to a six-lane urban section. An interchange at SR 710 and Northlake Boulevard is also proposed. Other improvements include adding a shared use path, sidewalks, as well as evaluating access along the corridor.
