Traffic Alert - U-Turn to Close at Checkpoint 2

Starting on Monday, March 23, Broward County’s Highway Construction & Engineering Div. will temporarily close the U-turn located before the security checkpoint on Spangler Blvd./State Road 84. During this time the U-turn closure will be evaluated to see if it improves traffic flow coming from the Convention Center Connector/westbound Spangler Blvd. If successful, the U-turn will be permanently closed to allow for the lengthening of the left turn lanes from westbound Spangler Blvd. to southbound US 1.
