Fort Lauderdale, Florida – Drivers in Fort Lauderdale should expect road closures and heavier traffic on Sunday, September 6, as the city prepares for its Labor Day Festival at the North Beach Restaurants and Shoppes.
The festival will take place along NE 32nd and NE 33rd Streets, in the area stretching from A1A west toward the Intracoastal. With the event expected to bring visitors to the area, city officials are warning motorists to plan ahead and allow additional time for travel.
The traffic advisory will be in effect from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m. on Sunday. During that period, NE 32nd Street and NE 33rd Street will be closed from A1A to NE 33rd Avenue.
