Several Port St. Lucie road construction projects are underway across the city as it works to address traffic congestion tied to continued population growth. From lane widenings to new interchange designs, here is where each project stands as of May 2026.
Port St. Lucie Boulevard Widening Project
The Port St. Lucie Boulevard widening project is in its third phase, expanding the road from Paar Drive to Alcantara Boulevard from two lanes to four. Previous segments between Alcantara and Gatlin Boulevard faced delays due to hurricanes but were completed last year. The project is part of the city’s larger Capital Improvement Plan for 2025-2029, which aims to address infrastructure needs citywide.
Road closures for drainage and utility work are keeping this phase on schedule but are slowing down drivers. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has coordinated with utility companies and the city to keep projects moving forward.
The final segment of the Port St. Lucie Boulevard widening, from Paar Drive to Becker Road, is scheduled to begin in 2027.
St. Lucie West and Peacock Boulevard Intersection
The intersection of St. Lucie West Boulevard and Peacock Boulevard is being widened. Crews are adding new turn lanes and a westbound lane for drivers to access I-95. According to the latest update, intersection improvements at St. Lucie West Blvd and NW Peacock Blvd are expected to be completed this year.
Floresta Drive Improvement Project
Phase three of the Floresta Drive Improvement Project, enhancing the road between Crosstown Parkway and Prima Vista Boulevard, is underway and should be finished by 2028. Earlier phases included improvements at Port St. Lucie Boulevard and widening the Elkham Bridge.
Midway Road Widening and Turnpike Interchange
The Midway Road widening project from Jenkins Road to Selvitz Road is expanding the road from two lanes to four. It was initially slated for completion this summer but is now expected to finish early next year.
The widening from Jenkins Road to Glades Cut Off Road is scheduled to begin next year. The Florida Turnpike Enterprise is in the design phase for an interchange at Midway Road and the turnpike, with construction expected to start next year. These projects are part of the city’s ongoing infrastructure investment program supporting growth and improved mobility.
