Drivers should prepare for a full road closure on SW 19th Street due to upcoming sewer connection work
Fort Lauderdale, Florida – Drivers in the area of SW 19th Street should prepare for a full road closure next week as sewer connection work is scheduled to take place between Tuesday, April 15 and Thursday, April 17. The closure will be in effect each day from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The construction will occur near 3451 SW 19th Street and is part of necessary infrastructure improvements in the area. While the road will be closed to through traffic, local residents will still be able to access their homes. However, officials have noted that the area will be limited to local access only during work hours.
A detour will be set up to help guide drivers around the closure. Vehicles will be redirected via SW 35th Avenue, SW 20th Street, and SW 34th Avenue. Clear signage will be posted along the route to assist motorists in navigating the temporary changes safely and efficiently.
Officials are encouraging drivers to plan ahead and allow for extra travel time during the closure period. Alternate routes are recommended for non-local traffic to reduce congestion in the immediate area.
“Please be advised: A full road closure will be in effect to complete sewer connection work on SW 19th Street. All residents will have access to their properties, but traffic will be restricted to local access only,” the advisory stated.
Residents and commuters are asked to use caution near the work zone and follow posted detour signs for the safety of both workers and drivers. The closure is expected to last only three days, barring any unexpected delays due to weather or other factors.
For those who regularly travel through the SW 19th Street area, staying updated through local traffic reports and signage will be key to avoiding disruptions.
