BROWARD COUNTY, FL - The Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division (HBMD) will be performing major bridge rehabilitation on a County-owned bridge on Coral Springs Drive over the West Outfall Canal in Coral Springs between Lakeview Dr. and Royal Palm Blvd (see map below). Work will begin on February 21, 2023, and conclude in August 2023, barring any unforeseen conditions and/or weather delays. The work is funded by the gas tax.

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.  

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 of traffic in each direction will remain open 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 Stanley Bateman can be reached at 954-647-6490 or sbateman@broward.org. 

Broward County appreciates your patience as we complete this necessary bridge repair project.
