Press Release

The transformation of Dixie Highway and Atlantic Boulevard is continuing at full speed and entering an exciting new phase! Starting this week, construction for the Streetscape Project-Segment 3A will begin, stretching from NE 10 Street to Copans Road. Crews will begin tree protection installation, site surveying, and soft digging to carefully uncover and protect underground utilities, starting at NE 10 Street and moving north. This first phase will feature mostly light activities, ensuring minimal disruption to traffic as work progresses.

In the coming weeks, construction will involve rolling maintenance of traffic (MOT) to allow for progressive and limited closures of the interior travel lane, which will take place sequentially for approximately four weeks. By late February, the project will ramp up with the demolition and reconstruction of the median areas, which will be reconfigured to enhance safety and beautify the corridor. As with previous phases, a comprehensive MOT plan, developed in collaboration with the contractor, consultants, BSO, and City Departments, will be in place to monitor traffic, address concerns, and provide regular public updates.

The $5 million FDOT funding, alongside $25 million from the Broward County Transportation Surtax Fund, the City’s General Obligation (GO) Bond, and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), have made this vital project possible. It marks a major step toward revitalizing the Atlantic Boulevard and Dixie Highway corridor as the new signature entrance to Pompano Beach.
