The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) scheduled temporary lane closures on the Sunrise Blvd. Bridge. According to a press release on the Fort Lauderdale government website, FDOT will be closing two of the three westbound lanes for deck welding repairs. This will occur between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. today and tomorrow, leaving only one lane open for vehicles during those hours.

The sidewalk on the bridge will remain accessible to pedestrians throughout the duration of the work. Moreover, vessels that frequent the Intracoastal Waterway won't have their schedules disrupted, as the bridge will continue to open for marine traffic at its regular times - every hour on the half-hour. Guillermo Canedo, a spokesperson for FDOT, confirmed these details and can be contacted for further information at (954) 777-4090 or via email at [email protected].

Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes if possible or account for the additional travel time during the construction hours. FDOT has coordinated with local agencies to ensure that the repairs cause minimal disruption and are completed swiftly. For up-to-date information on the closures and work progress, travelers can visit the Fort Lauderdale government website or reach out to the provided contact details for Guillermo Canedo.
