BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division (HBMD) will be performing major bridge rehabilitation on a County-owned bridge located on Flamingo Road over the C-9 Canal in the City of Miramar (0.25 miles south of Silver Falls Boulevard; refer to attached map). The work will begin on October 11, 2021, and will conclude in May 2022, barring any unforeseen conditions and/or weather delays.

This is a Mobility Advancement Program project that will mainly focus on addressing structural issues identified in the most recent Florida Department of Transportation bridge inspection report. Broward County has expedited the design of the improvements well in advance of unsafe conditions. HBMD developed an innovative design and construction method, one of the first in Florida, which minimizes construction impacts to the public by mainly working on the underside of the bridge.

During the small portion of construction that occurs atop the bridge, one lane in each direction will be closed to vehicular traffic during non-peak hours and weekends, except for two weeks when the lane closures will be in place day and night to perform waterproofing of the deck and placement of new asphalt. Access to driveways and sidewalks will remain open. Variable message signs will be posted to warn motorists and pedestrians.

Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division can be reached at 954-357-6040. Project Manager Diana Rodriguez, can be reached at 954-357-6024 or dirodriguez@broward.org

Broward County appreciates your patience as we continue to enhance our roadways.
