✈️ Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)
Airport exit closure: The Australian Avenue exit from PBI is temporarily closed for scheduled repairs through mid-January 2026. If you’re flying this week, plan to use the Belvedere Road exits (via Congress Ave. or North Florida Mango Road) instead, and allow a little extra travel time to and from the terminals.
General airport traffic: While there are no major flight-specific delays reported right now, weekend travel can still be busier than usual, so give yourself ample time, especially for early-morning or holiday flights
Tips for Navigating the Week
Leave a few minutes earlier than usual if you’re heading into West Palm Beach or Delray Beach during rush hours.
Check FL511 or local traffic apps in real time for updates on closures or slowdowns.
If you’re using Palm Beach International Airport, consider ride-share or drop-off options to avoid parking delays and make up for the exit closure.
