West Palm Beach Fort Pierce, FL, October 21, 2026 —
St. Lucie County is nearing the final design for a project to overhaul a section of Prima Vista Boulevard between Airoso Boulevard and U.S. 1. The proposed roadway changes would replace the existing four-lane configuration with a shared center turn lane and raised medians.
Under the plan, left turns would be restricted to designated points. The project’s stated aims are to reduce crashes and manage traffic congestion along the corridor. The information provided does not include crash figures, traffic counts or other data quantifying the conditions the project is intended to address.
The county is described as nearing the final design, but no completion date for that design or construction schedule was provided. Details about project cost, funding, construction phases and possible effects on nearby residents or businesses were also not included.
The description does not specify which designated points would allow left turns, or whether additional roadway features are part of the plan. It also does not provide information about approvals, permits or public consultation. Those details were not available in the project summary.
For now, the stated scope is a redesign of the stretch between Airoso Boulevard and U.S. 1, centered on a shared turn lane and raised medians. The county’s plan is intended to address safety and congestion, but no projections or findings detailing the expected results were provided.
