FDOT Sheridan Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project
Full Bridge Closure over the Intracoastal Waterway - Extended Through October 15thThe SR 822/Sheridan Street Bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway is remains fully for closed. Due to ongoing supply chain issues with some of the new electrical and mechanical bridge components, the full bridge closure period will be extended through October 15, 2022, to allow for the completion of the bridge rehabilitation. Additionally, weather has delayed some exterior operations such as painting of the steel as work is shut down during lightning, heavy winds, and rain. The Department is expediting the remaining scope of work and the contractor has committed crews to work around-the-clock to reopen the bridge as soon as possible. Eastbound traffic is detoured via US-1, Hollywood Boulevard, or Dania Beach Boulevard. Westbound traffic is being detoured via SR A1A, Hollywood Boulevard, or Dania Beach Boulevard. Access to local traffic and the Anne Kolb Nature Center will be maintained at all times via eastbound SR 822/ Sheridan Street before the bridge. Pedestrian access is also detoured.
Project improvements include installing bicycle-friendly/anti-slip walking plates along the bridge’s moveable spans, removing existing curb and adding a 32-inch traffic barrier between the sidewalk and roadway, removing and replacing the outer pedestrian railing, adding new pedestrian gates in each direction, renovating the existing tender house, upgrading electrical and mechanical components, and access platforms on the bridge.
Bridge opening times for marine traffic will be impacted through September 2022. The temporary bridge opening schedule is, as follows:
Daily, between 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
One side of the bridge will open on the quarter hour and three-quarter hour. Boaters needing a full opening should provide 4-hour advance notice.
Sunday-Fridays, between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
The bridge will be closed. Boaters needing a full opening should provide 24-hour advance notice. Full openings are available only between midnight and 1 a.m.
Friday-Sunday, between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Single-leaf openings will be provided on the quarter and three quarter hour. A full opening will not be provided during this time.
The vertical clearance across both spans will be reduced by 5-feet for the installation of a containment system for the duration of the project.
These timing adjustments are needed in order to complete operations during the full bridge closure, which also begins Monday, June 13 through September 2022, weather and unforeseen conditions permitting. This work is part of the SR 822/Sheridan Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project. Construction began January 22, 2022 and estimated completion date is Late 2022.
For more information, please visit the FDOT project page here.
Roadway & Sidewalk Improvements
Construction has begun along North Park Road between Sheridan Street and Oak Drive near TY Park. This construction project includes swale restoration, milling and resurfacing of the existing roadway, new pavement markings, and sidewalk replacement.
Access to all properties will be maintained, however the new concrete will take time to cure so immediate access to driveways and sidewalks will be limited after concrete placement. In order to accommodate any inconvenience this may cause, temporary parking in the swale adjacent to private property will be permitted. It is anticipate driveway closures will not last longer than 48 hours.
The City, Weekley Asphalt, and Tectonic Group International appreciates your patience during this community improvement.

One Lane Closed on Sheridan Street Turnpike Overpass For Emergency RepairDrivers are encouraged to seek an alternate route
One eastbound lane on the Sheridan Street Turnpike Overpass in the City of Hollywood is closed to vehicular traffic due to a truck that hit the underside of the overpass causing significant damage to the structure. The truck was carrying heavy construction equipment while traveling northbound on the Florida Turnpike. One eastbound lane remains open and the westbound lanes are not affected.
Broward County and the Florida Department of Transportation are working together to evaluate and repair the damage.
The County is helping to reduce traffic congestion in that area by synchronizing the traffic lights to maximize the flow of traffic. Drivers are encouraged to seek an alternate route until repairs are completed
