Eastbound Donald Ross Road at Bascule Bridge is expected to reopen later this evening on Monday, April 29, 2024. A slight delay was experienced on Saturday, April 27, 2024, due to an issue with one of the bridge parts and the contractor was unable to restore bridge operations that day. Since the delay, the issue has been resolved and the bridge will be returning to normal operations. The closure on the westbound side of Donald Ross Road is still scheduled to begin on Thursday, May 9, 2024, and last for approximately 10 days.
Palm Beach County Engineering and Public Works (EPW) staff initially investigated maintaining two-way traffic on half of the bridge but found that there was not adequate space to transition traffic back to the correct side before or after the bridge. EPW appreciates the community’s patience and understanding throughout this temporary inconvenience, as we work to enhance the safety and efficiency of the County’s infrastructure.
