Heads up, Hollywood drivers, prepare to adjust your routes. Starting soon, Johnson Street at N. Dixie Highway is getting a makeover that will shut down the westbound lanes. Officials have directed drivers to Taft Street as the detour. Residents and business owners, however, are being assured that their daily lives and access won't be upended by the construction.
According to a city announcement, this closure is not without reason. It's the price for progress as the city revamps the old Dowdy Community Center. By turning westbound vehicles to Taft Street, crews will aim to ensure eastbound traffic keeps moving and businesses stay reachable.
The inconvenience might be a small price to pay for the promise of a better community hangout spot. The city is pledging to make every effort practicable to reduce the headaches that come with roadwork. Shop owners and those living near the construction should expect some level of disruption, but with the city's commitment, perhaps it'll be a touch more bearable.
For those seeking more details or a voice to bend about the roadwork, Karyn Sashi is your go-to. Sashi, who's helming this project as the Project Manager, is reachable at 954.921.3996 or can be hit up by email at [email protected], the city suggests. The Department of Design and Construction Management has asked for patience as they push through this crucial phase of city improvement.
