• 1:00:00
  Welcome to the Road and Dock edition of
• 1:00:04
  the City Center
• 1:00:05
  podcast from West Palm Beach,
• 1:00:07
  Florida.
• 1:00:08
  I'm Jerry Marcello.
• 1:00:09
  Here are some closures associated with
• 1:00:12
  the Palm Beach
• 1:00:12
  International Boat Show, which
• 1:00:14
  runs from Wednesday, March
• 1:00:15
  19th through Sunday, March 23rd.
• 1:00:19
  As you might imagine, there's a great
• 1:00:20
  deal of preparation
• 1:00:21
  involved at the West Palm Beach
• 1:00:22
  waterfront, so there are several closures
• 1:00:25
  you need to know about
• 1:00:26
  that are taking place
• 1:00:27
  well before the show begins and lasting
• 1:00:30
  till after it closes.
• 1:00:32
  First, let's go over the dates and times
• 1:00:34
  of the Palm Beach
• 1:00:35
  International Boat Show.
• 1:00:37
  The show kicks off on Wednesday, March
• 1:00:38
  19th, with hours from
• 1:00:40
  12 noon to 7 pm that day.
• 1:00:43
  Then, from Thursday, March 20th through
• 1:00:46
  Saturday, the 22nd, the
• 1:00:47
  doors will be open at 10 am
• 1:00:49
  and close at 7 pm.
• 1:00:52
  It all wraps up on Sunday afternoon,
• 1:00:54
  March 23rd, with the
• 1:00:55
  doors closing at 5 pm.
• 1:00:58
  Now, onto the road closures associated
• 1:01:01
  with the show and
• 1:01:02
  preparation for the show.
• 1:01:04
  Pay attention, there's a
• 1:01:05
  quiz at the end of this list.
• 1:01:08
  The northbound lanes of Flagler Drive,
• 1:01:11
  from Lakeview to Fern,
• 1:01:13
  will be closed between
• 1:01:14
  7 am and 6 pm on Monday,
• 1:01:16
  March 3rd and Tuesday, March 4th.
• 1:01:20
  Since northbound only,
• 1:01:21
  southbound remains opened.
• 1:01:24
  The Flagler Drive closures then expand
• 1:01:26
  northward to Banyan, starting on
• 1:01:28
  Wednesday, March 5th.
• 1:01:30
  So northbound Flagler Drive, between
• 1:01:33
  Lakeview and Banyan, will
• 1:01:35
  close beginning at 6 am,
• 1:01:37
  March 5th and stay closed through 6 pm on
• 1:01:41
  Wednesday, March 26th.
• 1:01:44
  The southbound lanes of Flagler will
• 1:01:46
  close as well, starting
• 1:01:47
  on Saturday, March 15th,
• 1:01:49
  at 3 pm, and stay
• 1:01:50
  closed until March 26th.
• 1:01:53
  So you'll have to avoid Flagler Drive
• 1:01:54
  completely between Lakeview
• 1:01:56
  and Banyan from March 15th
• 1:01:59
  through the 26th.
• 1:02:01
  While the southbound lanes of Flagler
• 1:02:03
  Drive will open to traffic
• 1:02:04
  on Wednesday, March 26th,
• 1:02:06
  the northbound lanes will be closed from
• 1:02:09
  Lakeview to Banyan through
• 1:02:10
  the 28th and from Lakeview
• 1:02:12
  to Fern on March 31st.
• 1:02:16
  If you're curious about the city docks at
• 1:02:18
  Fern and Clamatus,
• 1:02:19
  well, just forget about
• 1:02:21
  it.
• 1:02:21
  They'll be closed from March 3rd through
• 1:02:23
  the 31st, for obvious reasons.
• 1:02:26
  I was just kidding about a quiz.
• 1:02:28
  Beyond the boat show, there will be other
• 1:02:30
  short-term and
• 1:02:31
  long-term closures happening
• 1:02:32
  around the city.
