BROWARD COUNTY, FL - The Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division (HBMD) will be performing drainage improvements along NE 56th Street from NE 6th Avenue to NE 9th Avenue, in front of the Northeast High School, in Oakland Park. In order to minimize impacts to school operations, construction is scheduled to begin during the summer break, on Monday, June 13, 2016. Completion is expected on or before August 15, 2016, barring any unforeseen conditions or weather delays. 

The purpose of this project is to alleviate flooding conditions by adding new pipe lines and replacing deteriorated drainage structures. Construction activities include: excavating, installing pipes and structures, restoring damaged pavement, and adding missing sidewalk.

During construction, the eastbound pick-up/drop-off auxiliary lane will be closed, but access will be maintained to all driveways and side streets.  Additionally, for a period of two weeks, eastbound and westbound through lanes on NE 56th Street will be temporary closed except for local traffic, and vehicles will be temporarily detoured to NE 56th Court.

Variable message signs will be posted to warn affected motorists and pedestrians.

Project Manager Vilma Melendez can be reached at 954-357-4967 or 954-203-8474. Or you can call the Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division office at 954-357-6040.
