Construction Update: Wednesday, October 8, 2025

The City of Fort Lauderdale is working with Lanzo Construction Co. to make improvements to the City's sewer system along SE 10th Avenue between E. Broward Boulevard and SE 2nd Street in Beverly Heights. Crews will be using a process called cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, which is a trenchless method to rehabilitate underground sewer lines and extend their longevity while minimizing excavation and disruption. The work includes:

• Cured-in-place pipe lining of approximately 1,300 feet of sewer lines.
• Restoring the roadway, sidewalks and landscaping as needed.

Construction will begin on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, and is expected to be completed by late December 2025. Work will take place Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. This schedule is subject to change based on inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Traffic Impacts:

• SE 10th Avenue will be closed in both directions from E. Broward Boulevard to SE 2nd Street throughout construction. The intersection of SE 10th Avenue and SE 2nd Street will also be closed for construction.
• Traffic will be detoured to E. Broward Boulevard, SE 2nd Street, SE 9th Avenue, and SE 11th Avenue.
• Traffic control personnel will direct traffic as needed.
• Please follow the posted signs and drive with caution in the area.
