BROWARD COUNTY, FL - The Highway and Bridge Maintenance
Division (HBMD) will be performing major bridge rehabilitation on a
County-owned bridge on Andrews Avenue over the South Fork Middle
River in Wilton Manors. (see attached map below). Work will begin on May 23, 2022 and conclude in March 2023,
barring any unforeseen conditions and/or weather delays.
The recommended repairs identified by the Florida Department of Transportation will enhance the longevity of the structure by using an
innovative deck strengthening design and construction method developed by HBMD.
This method, one of the first in Florida, minimizes construction impacts to the
public by mainly working on the underside of the bridge. Watch video of new bridge repair method.
One-way traffic control with flaggers
will be provided for two weeks toward the end of construction when one lane will be closed while waterproofing and resurfacing is being performed. Access to businesses, residences and sidewalks will be maintained.
Various signs will be posted to warn motorists and pedestrians.
