BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Construction is scheduled to begin on Monday, October 25th to make improvements at the intersection of Rock Island Road and Royal Palm Boulevard in Margate. The year-long MAP Broward project is planned for completion in October of 2022 barring any unforeseen conditions or weather delays.

Most of the construction will take place during off-peak hours with periodic lane closures. Traffic delays are expected, however, one lane in each direction will remain open at all times.

Project details include:

• Securing traffic lights to withstand high winds during hurricane season
• Modifications to improve left and right turns
• Sidewalk improvements
• Upgrading pedestrian ramps in compliance with the latest ADA guidelines
• Repaving the roadway
• Minor drainage improvements

Broward County's Highway Construction and Engineering Division is overseeing this project. Public questions and concerns can be addressed to James Jeffers, Construction Project Management Supervisor at (954) 577-4573 or JJeffers@broward.org.

We appreciate your patience as we perform these necessary upgrades.
