I-95 and Florida's Turnpike are controlled-access expressways that serve Palm Beach county. [[Florida State Road 80|Southern Boulevard]] (signed [[Florida State Road 80|SR 80]]/[[U.S. Route 98 in Florida|US 98]]), which runs east–west through central Palm Beach County, is a partial freeway from Interstate 95 in [[West Palm Beach]] to [[U.S. Route 441 in Florida|US 441]]/[[Florida State Road 7|SR 7]] in [[Wellington, Florida|Wellington]] and [[Royal Palm Beach]]. In the late 1980s, there were plans to construct two additional expressways in Palm Beach County. One was to be an {{convert|11.5|mi}} toll freeway from Royal Palm Beach to downtown West Palm Beach. It would have run between Belvedere Road and [[Florida State Road 704|Okeechobee Boulevard]]; necessitating the destruction of several homes and churches along its path. The other proposed route was a northern extension of the [[Florida State Road 869|Sawgrass Expressway]] which was to be called "University Parkway". The University Parkway would have snaked around suburban developments west of [[Boca Raton, Florida|Boca Raton]], [[Delray Beach, Florida|Delray Beach]], and [[Boynton Beach, Florida|Boynton Beach]]; its path bordering the [[Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1993-09-28/news/9309280170_1_four-lane-parkway-powerline-task-force |title=University Parkway Takes A Drubbing |work=Sun Sentinel |date=September 28, 1993 |access-date=December 18, 2012 |archive-date=June 9, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609231122/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1993-09-28/news/9309280170_1_four-lane-parkway-powerline-task-force  }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1993-09-14/news/9309140116_1_task-force-palm-beach-county-broward-county |title=Task Force Divided By Inter-county Road Proposal |work=Sun Sentinel |date=September 14, 1993 |access-date=December 18, 2012 |archive-date=June 9, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609230733/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1993-09-14/news/9309140116_1_task-force-palm-beach-county-broward-county  }}</ref> Ultimately, both expressways were canceled due to opposition from county residents.<ref>{{cite web |first=Fred |last=Lowery |url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1986-03-17/news/8601160782_1_corridor-study-central-county-authority-members |title=Detailed Road Study To Be Sought |work=Sun Sentinel |date=March 17, 1986 |access-date=December 18, 2012 |archive-date=June 9, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609230517/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1986-03-17/news/8601160782_1_corridor-study-central-county-authority-members  }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1986-10-16/news/8603020944_1_authority-members-routes-sansbury/2 |title=Concerns Aired Over Road Plan Westgate Seeks Delay On Decision |work=Sun Sentinel |date=October 16, 1986 |access-date=December 18, 2012 |archive-date=July 8, 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708003149/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1986-10-16/news/8603020944_1_authority-members-routes-sansbury/2  }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Mike |last=Turnbell |url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2005-03-06/news/0503050284_1_new-interchange-lanes-palm-beach-county |title=Toll Expressway Halted In The '80s |work=Sun Sentinel |date=March 6, 2005 |access-date=December 18, 2012 |archive-date=June 9, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609230602/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2005-03-06/news/0503050284_1_new-interchange-lanes-palm-beach-county  }}</ref>
