BROWARD COUNTY, FL – Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division will be performing drainage pipe cleaning, video inspection and point repair along NE 56th Street from NE 9th Avenue to NE 14th Avenue in Oakland Park and Fort Lauderdale (see attached map). The project will begin on June 14, 2021 and will conclude in October 2021, barring any unforeseen conditions and/or weather delays.

The purpose of the project is to inspect the drainage system and identify the need for repairs. To minimize construction impacts to the nearby Northeast High School, businesses and residents, most of the work will be done during the school’s summer break and off-peak traffic hours.

During construction, one traffic lane along NE 56th Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between 9AM and 4PM. Access to businesses and sidewalks will be maintained. Variable message signs will be posted to warn motorists and pedestrians.

Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division can be reached at 954-357-6040. Project Manager, Maggie Maher, can be reached at 954-299-9956 or mmaher@broward.org.

Broward County appreciates your patience as we complete this necessary roadway maintenance project.
