The work zone will stretch between Nob Hill Road and Central Park Drive/Jacaranda Country Club Drive in Plantation. Crews will carry out bridge deck waterproofing, milling, and resurfacing under double-lane closures on weekdays at night and throughout the weekend to reduce disruptions to drivers and the nearby American Heritage School.

Officials said at least one travel lane will remain open at all times during construction, including overnight. The project, funded by gas tax revenue, is expected to wrap by 5 AM on Thursday, December 18, with all lane closures ending by the same time. Motorists are urged to plan ahead for slower travel during nighttime hours.

Construction work has been intentionally scheduled after school hours to avoid impacts on students and staff, with special attention placed on minimizing interference with school traffic patterns and neighborhood safety. The rehabilitation is part of a broader effort by the division’s Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division to extend the life of aging infrastructure in Broward County.
