City lists Oct. 26 start for Broward Boulevard turn-lane work
Fort Lauderdale’s latest update schedules work at Broward Boulevard and SE 15th Avenue for Oct. 26, but the City page does not confirm crews began.
Key Takeaways
- •The City’s Oct. 21 update scheduled the project to begin Oct. 26.
- •The work would add a dual left-turn lane for northbound SE 15th Avenue traffic.
- •The City page retains an older Sept. 14 start date and does not confirm work began.
The City of Fort Lauderdale lists Oct. 26, 2026, as the scheduled start for work on a dual left-turn lane at East Broward Boulevard and SE 15th Avenue. The project page was published Oct. 21 and describes work for northbound traffic on SE 15th Avenue. The page does not confirm whether crews began work on Oct. 26.
The project scope includes lane changes, concrete and landscape work, paving, signs and pavement markings, and signal modifications. The City says work is planned Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the schedule subject to change because of weather or other unforeseen conditions.
Drivers are told the intersection will remain open to local traffic during construction, but partial lane closures may be used as needed. Traffic-control personnel are to direct vehicles near the work area during work hours. The City advises drivers to follow posted signs and use caution.
The City page contains two different start dates: an Oct. 21 update schedules the project for Oct. 26, while an older paragraph on the same page says construction would begin Sept. 14. The page does not explain the discrepancy or provide a post-start update. The Oct. 26 date should therefore be read as the City’s latest listed schedule, not confirmation that construction is underway.
The project involves the junction at East Broward Boulevard and SE 15th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale. The City lists December 2026 as the expected completion period in the older project text, while noting that schedules can change. Residents seeking a status update can contact the project manager, Ivey Kearson III, at 954-828-5389 or ikearson@fortlauderdale.gov.
