Dixie Highway Closure Following Sewer Main Break Expected to Remain in Place
Through Friday, December 12
WEST PALM BEACH, FL (December 5, 2025) – On Thursday afternoon, December 4, 2025, a sewer main break at 23rd Street and Dixie Highway prompted the closure of Dixie Highway between 21st Street and Northwood Road. This pipe is owned by the Town of Palm Beach — and due to materials procurement and repair work, this closure is anticipated to remain in place through Friday, December 12, weather permitting.
City crews have successfully stopped the leak, and sewer service remains available to customers in the surrounding area. As repair work continues, both northbound and southbound lanes on Dixie Highway are being rerouted. Motorists are urged to avoid the area and follow posted detours.
The City of West Palm Beach thanks residents, businesses, and commuters for their patience and cooperation.
