Fort Lauderdale residents can expect to see improvements on NW 7th Avenue as the Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division (HBMD) embarks on a drainage system enhancement project. The work will span from Broward Boulevard to Sunrise Boulevard, with the expectation of wrapping up by April 7, 2025. These measures, funded by the gas tax, aim to ensure the area's infrastructure remains reliable and efficient, according to a recent post by Broward County.
To mitigate disruptions to daily commutes, crews will work nocturnally, keeping one lane available in each direction throughout the night. However, side streets may see closures for a span of one or two days, depending on the work's progress. Variable message signs will stand as beacons to guide, and inform impacted motorists and pedestrians of changes and detours, as detailed by a Broward County news release.
Access to local driveways and pedestrian sidewalks will be maintained during the construction period, to cause as little inconvenience as possible to residents and business owners in the area. For those with questions or seeking further details, HBMD has provided contact information readily. Project Manager Felix Garcia can be directly reached at 954-895-8535, or via email at [email protected].
The county acknowledges the patience of the public as these necessary upgrades to the drainage system commence. Moreover, anyone with inquiries or in need of assistance during this time, may contact HBMD at 954-357-6040 to address any concerns they may have.
