Veterans Memorial Parkway Open

Published on June 20, 2024

Update as of 8:20 p.m. on June 21: Veterans Memorial Parkway is open after Florida Power and Light completed emergency utility work. The two left turn lanes are open from eastbound Port St. Lucie Boulevard to northbound Veterans Memorial Parkway. 

Original Post on June 20: A section of Veterans Memorial Parkway will be closed beginning at 7 a.m. on Friday, June 21 to perform emergency Florida Power and Light utility work.

Veterans Memorial Parkway will be closed from the post office to SE Hideaway Circle to allow Florida Power and Light crews to repair a utility pole that was damaged during a recent automobile accident. Due to the location of the pole that is being repaired, the road closure is necessary to ensure the safety of drivers and crews.

The utility repairs are expected to be completed and the road reopened within a 13-hour period. That timeframe is dependent on weather conditions.

Local traffic will be asked to follow detour signage and Port St. Lucie Police will be present. Access to Rivergate Plaza and the post office, will not be impacted by the closure.
