Lake and Lucerne Avenues got upgrades

Downtown Lake Worth Beach's roads got upgrades

Costing $5.4 million

Excerpt from Chris Persuad's article at the Palm Beach Post: Lake and Lucerne avenues in downtown Lake Worth Beach, from Golfview Road to the roundabout at A Street, also have prominent bike lanes now — green in some areas — but with no physical barrier separating them from parked cars on the street to their right or regular traffic on their left.

The traffic lights at the Dixie Highway intersection at both avenues are now mounted on hurricane-strength traffic pole arms.

Miami-based General Asphalt Co. worked on the project, contracting with the Transportation Department, which owns and maintains both roads. Work started in February 2024 and ended last month, the department said.

The companies working on both of these projects also upgraded crosswalk pedestrian signal systems, replaced or added road signs, added sidewalk curb ramps where there were none to meet federal disability standards and repaired pipes and water mains underground, the Transportation Department said.
