The Broward County Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division will begin a major bridge repair project on South Andrews Avenue between Davie Boulevard and Southwest 11th Street in Fort Lauderdale on Monday, April 13. The work, funded by gas-tax revenue, is expected to be completed by August 2026, weather permitting.
Repairs include replacement of concrete bridge barrier walls, sidewalk reconstruction, and milling/resurfacing of the roadway. Construction will begin on the east side of the bridge (northbound lanes), where the outermost lane and adjacent sidewalk will be closed. A traffic shift will maintain two open lanes at all times, while pedestrians will be rerouted. Once the east side work is complete, crews will move to the west side (southbound lanes), following the same lane closure and pedestrian detour procedures. Nighttime lane closures will also be required for milling and resurfacing operations.
This project affects District 8 (southbound lanes), represented by Vice Mayor Robert McKinzie, and District 4 (northbound lanes), represented by Commissioner Lamar Fisher. Residents and commuters are advised to plan for potential delays and follow posted detour signs.
