Port users and visitors may experience heavy traffic in the convention center area on Friday, February 6. More than2,000 attendees are expected at the Caliber Awards. Motorists are encouraged to avoid the entrance at SE 17th St. and Eisenhower Blvd., and should use the port’s other two entrances located at Federal Hwy (US1)/ State Road 84 and I-595/Eller Dr.
The port's Seaport Planning section is working in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Four and Transystems to conduct a feasibility study for the intersection of Eller Drive and McIntosh Road located within the port’s jurisdictional area. The objective of this feasibility study is to identify up to five alternatives and validate a preferred alternative to improve traffic, mobility, and safety conditions at this intersection.
The Feasibility Study alternatives may include options such as no-build, safety/mobility/operational improvements, at-grade improvements, partial grade separation, and full grade separation alternatives, including the proposed I- 595 flyover project as identified in Port Everglades’ 5-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
