BROWARD COUNTY, FL - The Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division (HBMD) will be performing major bridge rehabilitation in the City of Coral Springs on Atlantic Boulevard between Riverside Drive and Coral Ridge Drive (refer to attached map). This project is being funded by the state gas tax. 

The bridge rehabilitation will primarily address structural issues identified in the most recent Florida Department of Transportation bridge inspection report. Work will begin on March 11 and is expected to conclude September 2024, barring any unforeseen conditions and/or weather delays. 

HBMD has developed an innovative design and construction method which minimizes impacts to traffic and nearby businesses and residents during construction. This new design, one of the first in Florida, allows for most of the work to be performed on the bridge's underside by using floating platforms in the water. Prior to this, all work needed to be performed on top of the bridge, resulting in significant traffic impacts (watch video). 

Most of the construction will not result in any lane closures, except occasionally for deck waterproofing and resurfacing. Driveways and sidewalks will remain accessible. Variable message signs will direct motorists.
