Starting tomorrow, Fort Lauderdale residents can expect some disruption along Sistrunk Boulevard, but the payoff will be smoother surfaces on a stretch of road needing attention. The resurfacing project, running from NW 24th Avenue to Avenue of the Arts/NW 7th Avenue, spearheaded by the City of Fort Lauderdale in conjunction with FG Construction, aims to improve the asphalt quality for neighborhoods such as Durrs and Historic Dorsey Riverbend.

Night construction from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Sundays to Thursdays means quieter days but noisy nights with heavy machinery. With the inconvenience expected to last until May 24, project manager Jean Examond, according to the City of Fort Lauderdale's press release, urges the community to exercise patience as they navigate the temporary changes.

Get ready for detours and traffic changes at night due to lane closures in the area. Workers waving their flags will guide vehicles through the confusion, while signs will attempt to maintain a semblance of order amidst the change. Driveway access will be kept open, so getting home won't turn into an unintended adventure, according to the city's announcement.

The local government wants to make it clear that the aggravation is a small price to pay for the benefits that come with infrastructure improvements. Funding, having been secured through a Community Development Block Grant, underscores the commitment to bolster community resilience one street at a time. In a statement obtained by the City of Fort Lauderdale, officials stressed that they're "apologize in advance for any inconvenience" and appreciate the community hanging tight during the transformation.
