BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division
(HBMD) will be performing major bridge rehabilitation on a County-owned bridge
on NW 27th Avenue over C-12 Canal (North Folk New River) between NW 6th Street
and West Sunrise Boulevard in the
Broward Municipal Services District (see attached map). The work is scheduled to begin on November
14, 2022 and will conclude by May 2023, barring any unforeseen conditions
and/or weather delays. This project 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.
Most of the construction will be performed without lane
closures, except for a one-week period where the deck waterproofing and asphalt
resurfacing will take place and access to driveways and sidewalks will be
maintained. Variable message signs will
be posted to advise affected motorists and pedestrians.
Project Manager Delin Bixha can be reached at 954-357-4991 or dbixha@broward.org. You can also contact Highway and Bridge Maintenance Division at 954-357-6040.
Broward County appreciates your patience as we complete this
necessary bridge repair project.
