Port St. Lucie roadwork brings May 12 and 14 closures near Midway Road
Jenkins Road closes May 12 and Post Office Road closes May 14 near Midway Road for paving tied to the widening project in Port St. Lucie.
Two short road closures are scheduled near Midway Road next week as work continues on the widening project in the Port St. Lucie area.
St. Lucie County says Jenkins Road will close on May 12 and Post Office Road will close on May 14. Both closures are one-day paving shutdowns tied to the Midway Road widening project, so drivers who use that corridor should expect detours and slower travel on those days.
The closures matter because this is not a finished project. The corridor work is still underway, and the project page now shows completion expected in fall 2026. For commuters, that means more temporary traffic changes are likely before the wider road is done.
What drivers should expect
The county’s notices point to paving as the reason for each closure, which usually means access will be limited in the immediate work zone while crews finish that segment. Residents, workers, delivery drivers, and anyone heading through the Midway Road area should plan extra time and choose an alternate route if possible.
Because the closures are tied to active construction, the impact should be concentrated around the project corridor rather than across the city. Still, even one-day shutdowns can affect school runs, work commutes, business deliveries, and trips to nearby neighborhoods.
Project timeline has slipped into late 2026
The FDOT Midway Road project site shows the widening work continuing on the Jenkins-to-Selvitz segment, with the latest completion timing now pointing to fall 2026. That is a reminder that the road changes around this part of Port St. Lucie are still unfolding, not winding down.
For drivers, the practical takeaway is simple: the corridor will likely keep changing in stages, and short closures may keep popping up as paving and related work move forward.
Where to check for updates
St. Lucie County regularly posts road closure notices and public works updates, and the project page is the best place to track the widening schedule as it changes. Drivers who depend on Midway Road, Jenkins Road, or Post Office Road should check for new notices before heading out, especially on workdays when construction can shift traffic patterns quickly.
For now, the key dates are May 12 for Jenkins Road and May 14 for Post Office Road, both tied to paving in the Midway Road widening project.
