Fort Lauderdale's Henry Kinney Tunnel will be undergoing some necessary upkeep early June, as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) initiates its monthly cleaning ritual. Travelers looking to pass through the tunnel should be aware that the northbound tube will be closed on Tuesday, June 3, from 9:30 p.m. until 4:00 a.m. Come Wednesday, June 4, it's the southbound tube's turn to shut down, also from 9:30 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., as per the city's website.
The temporary closures are intended to allow for pressure cleaning. For those who habitually cruise these concrete confines, the FDOT advises finding an alternate path during these periods. Detours will be clearly indicated, and motorists are advised to follow them to avoid potential delays.
Residents and visitors in the Fort Lauderdale area are also advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time. Stay informed with the latest transit updates and travel advisories through local sources. Expect traffic disruptions and use caution when traveling near the tunnel. More details can be found on the official Fort Lauderdale city website.
