Pompano Beach advances its streetscape project as Segment 3 begins, adding protected bike lanes, landscaping, and infrastructure upgrades along Dixie Highway

Pompano, Florida – The City of Pompano Beach is making steady progress on its ambitious streetscape project, with Segment 3 of the Atlantic Boulevard and Dixie Highway Improvements Project set to begin on March 24. This phase of the initiative, which extends along Dixie Highway from Atlantic Boulevard north to E. Copans Road, is part of the city’s ongoing effort to enhance safety, mobility, and the overall appearance of its roadways.

As part of the Complete Streets initiative, this segment will introduce several key improvements aimed at making the corridor more accessible and visually appealing. One of the most notable additions will be protected bike lanes, which will provide a safer, more convenient route for cyclists while improving multimodal connectivity. In addition, the corridor will receive extensive landscaping and beautification efforts to align with enhancements already completed at Atlantic Boulevard and Dixie Highway.

“This project continues our efforts to improve mobility and enhance the overall experience for residents and visitors,” said Pompano Beach Mayor Rex Hardin. “By integrating safety improvements, landscaping, and upgraded infrastructure, we are creating a more efficient and attractive corridor for all to enjoy.”

The scope of the improvements includes several major upgrades, such as drainage reconstruction with ADA-compliant enhancements, new curb and gutter installations to improve roadway function, and decorative lighting to enhance visibility and safety. Additionally, the project will include milling and resurfacing of pavement, updated signage and pavement markings for better wayfinding, and median landscaping with shade trees to provide a more welcoming streetscape.

To minimize disruptions, the city will install messaging boards at various locations before construction begins, ensuring that residents and commuters are informed about the upcoming work and available alternate routes. Officials estimate that this phase of construction will take approximately three months to complete, with ongoing updates provided to the public throughout the process.

The project is being funded through a combination of sources, including a $5 million grant from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), $27 million from the Broward County Transportation Surtax Fund, and additional financial contributions from the City’s General Obligation (GO) Bond and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). These investments reflect the city’s commitment to revitalizing the Atlantic Boulevard and Dixie Highway corridor, transforming it into a signature entrance to Pompano Beach.

With Segment 3 now underway, Pompano Beach continues to push forward in its mission to create a safer, more efficient, and visually appealing transportation network. As construction progresses, residents and visitors can look forward to a modernized corridor that prioritizes accessibility, sustainability, and a vibrant urban experience.
