The city of Sunrise is set for a bridge renovation on North Pine Island Road, led by the Department of Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division (HBMD); the revamp of the bridge on North Pine Island Road is about to begin, bringing with it a promise of enhanced structure and safety. With problems identified in the latest report by the Florida Department of Transportation, the work, which is kicking off on October 21, has its sights on an August 2025 finish, though weather and other factors could affect the timeline.

Most of the bridge work won’t meddle with traffic lanes—apart from few weeks dedicated to resurfacing and waterproofing the bridge deck, according to details sourced from Broward County's announcement. Residents and visitors will still have access to driveways or sidewalks during the construction, and variable message signs provide updates for those traveling through the zone.

For queries or more details, reach out to the HBMD at 954-357-6040. For direct assistance, Project Manager Stanley Bateman is available at 954-647-6490 or through [email protected]; the county’s statement expresses appreciation for the public's patience while this much-needed bridge repair is under execution.

Operating under Broward County, the Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division also keeps the street and highway system in trim, controls drawbridges, and runs the mosquito control deck, their daily grind encompasses the cleaning, mowing, patching, and more, to ensure the roads and canals remain in peak condition, all while keeping an eye out to bolster stormwater drainage systems for the long run, these essentials of civility—smooth roads, secure bridges, and a handle on the mosquito, profoundly shape the nature of daily comings and goings and the HBMD is central to maintaining this balance in Broward County.
