Work continues on major Interstate Project

Work is continuing on the project on I-95 from south of Hollywood Boulevard in the City of Hollywood to south of Broward Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale and I-595 from I-95 to SR 7 in the Town of Davie. Work on this 9-mile 95 Express project includes extending the existing Express Lanes north from just south of Hollywood Boulevard to just south of Broward Boulevard in Broward County. One lane will be added, and the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane will be converted to create two Express Lanes in each direction. The number of General Use lanes will remain the same. Other project improvements include construction of I-95/I-595 Direct Connectors between 95 Express Lanes and I-595, as well as reconstruction, milling, resurfacing and widening of I-595 from SR-7 to I-95 and along I-95 from south of Hollywood Boulevard to south of Broward Boulevard. Additional work includes bridge widening along I-95 at several locations, painting of 17 bridges within project limits, I-95/SR 84 interchange modifications, Integrated Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Installation, including cameras, detectors and dynamic message signs to optimize traffic operations, tolling/gantry construction, ramp signalization implementation at the interchanges, lighting, signage and drainage installation and construction of shoulder–mounted sound walls and retaining walls, according to I-95 Community Outreach Specialist Daniela Silva. The cost will be $457 million and it will be complete in spring 2025.
