Road Closure: SW 36 Street to Close on Dec. 31 Part of C-11 Impoundment in the Broward County Water Preserve Project Effective December 31, SW 36 Street (Manatee Isles Drive), will be closed to through traffic just west of the Florida Nature & Culture Center. The road will no longer go through to U.S. 27.
There will be a cul-de-sac built at the location as a turn-around. The project spans two counties and is part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), a joint endeavor between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and South Florida Water Management District. The closure of SW 36 Street is integral to the project which was brought before the City as far back as 2006, where issues were raised and some favorable assurances obtained on the residents behalf. |
