Dixie Flyover Rendering

This project involves the realignment of Dixie Highway from south of Hillsboro Boulevard (SR-810) to north of the Hillsboro Canal. Just north of the Hillsboro Boulevard intersection, the proposed 4-lane alignment raises vertically and becomes an elevated structure over NE 2nd Street, NE 1st Avenue, North River Avenue, Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway tracks, NE 2nd Avenue, and the Hillsboro Canal. Once the elevated structure crosses over the Hillsboro Canal and enters Palm Beach County, the alignment ties back down to the existing roadway. By eliminating an at-grade FEC Railway crossing, the new flyover will reduce travel times and decrease conflict points along the route, thereby providing local motorists and pedestrians with a safer route to downtown Deerfield Beach and the amenities of Pioneer Park.
