BROWARD COUNTY, FL- Groundbreaking for the Port Everglades Bypass Road will take place on Monday, April 29, 2024, at 10AM at the Broward County Convention Center Marshalling Yard in Fort Lauderdale.

• It will separate general use traffic from the traffic going to Port Everglades.
• It will help reduce congestion on US-1 and SE 17th Street.
• The Port Everglades Bypass Road will have one lane in each direction and will include a 1300 ft elevated bypass road section exclusively for motor vehicles.
