FDOT will be closing Broward Boulevard at the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) crossing, just west of Andrews Avenue, starting at 6 p.m. Saturday, August 3, through midnight Tuesday, August 6. The primary detour route directs vehicles to Sunrise Boulevard to the north and Davie Boulevard to the south. There is a local detour route as well (please see the detour maps below). VMS signage is currently in place to provide advance notice to motorists.
The closure is needed to allow workers to safely perform necessary repairs to the railroad crossing. Workers will rehabilitate the existing track to repair defective rails and replace the crossing surface to improve ride quality.
