BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division (HBMD) will be performing major bridge rehabilitation on a County-owned bridge on Atlantic Boulevard over East Outfall Canal in Coral Springs. (See attached map.) The work will begin on October 24, 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 bridge's structure by using an innovative deck-strengthening design and construction method developed by HBMD. This method was created by HBMD and minimizes traffic delays by mainly working on the underside of the bridge. Watch video of the bridge repair method.
Lane closures will occur for a period of less than a month to allow for waterproofing and resurfacing of the bridge deck. A minimum of one lane will remain open in each direction at all times. Access to businesses, residences and sidewalks will be maintained. Various signs will be posted to warn motorists and pedestrians.
Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division can be reached at (954) 357-6040. Project Manager Felix Garcia can be reached at 954-895-8535 or fegarcia@broward.org.
The County appreciates your patience as we complete this necessary project.
