king tides

Get Ready for King Tides

Unusually high tides, also known as King Tides, are expected periodically through early December. Flooding in low-lying areas is more likely during this time of the year due to the close proximity of the moon which creates King Tides. These seasonal high tides, combined with rising sea levels and inclement weather conditions, exacerbate flooding risks. Rainfall and wind strength and direction also have a significant impact on the height of the tides causing them to come in higher or lower than predicted. With seven miles of shoreline, 7.9 miles of canals, and a flat topography, Hollywood is vulnerable to the effects of sea level rise and tidal flooding.
Based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s tide predictions, above average high tides are expected:
  • October 6-12
  • October 24-30
  • November 6-9           
  • November 23-27
Above average high tides are also expected again, on both the new moon and the full moon, additional dates to watch for tidal impacts include: 
  • December 23-24
High seasonal tides can cause low-lying coastal areas to flood. Motorists are urged to use caution and seek alternate routes to avoid traveling on flooded streets. Coastal roads, parking lots and docks in vulnerable areas could flood during the times of high tide.  

Seasonal tides could raise the water level by more than 2 and a half feet during high tide. The City is working on both short and long-term solutions to minimize the impacts of tidal flooding and has completed the installation of flap gates in the stormwater system to help prevent tidal water from flowing back through the stormwater drains. Additionally, auxiliary pumps are stationed in high risk areas to help clear flooded streets as quickly as possible.

FDOT Sheridan Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project Full Bridge Closure over the Intracoastal Waterway - Extended Through October 15th

The 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. 

For more information, please visit the FDOT project page here.

One Lane Closed on Sheridan Street Turnpike Overpass For Emergency Repair

Drivers 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
