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.

Water Quality Update

Port Everglades is classified as a public water system because it is responsible for providing water at the port and ensuring that the drinking water provided meets state and federal standards.

We are required by state and federal regulations to test six water samples every month for bacteriological analysis. We failed to collect any samples during the month of October 2023 resulting in a violation. This monitoring is required by the Florida Safe Drinking Water Act to ensure the safety of the public water supply. Bacteriological monitoring determines the presence or absence of coliform bacteria, which may be indicative of potential bacteriological contamination which may result in adverse health effects.

Results of samples collected on November 9, 2023, were satisfactory.  There is no need to boil the water or use bottled water at this time.
