The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Four, is conducting a Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study for SR 9/I-95 at SR 842/Broward Boulevard Interchange in the City of Fort Lauderdale. The study area limits are along Broward Boulevard from west of NW/SW 24 Avenue to east of NW/SW 18 Avenue and along I-95 from south of Davie Boulevard to south of Sunrise Boulevard, in Broward County, Florida.
The FDOT previously conducted a Kick-Off Meeting and two Alternatives Workshops in order to collect public input on the regional issues and the proposed alternatives. The Preferred Alternatives for the I-95 Mainline, the Broward Boulevard Interchange, and the Park-and-Ride will be displayed at the Public Hearing.
