The City of Hollywood plans a one-way traffic pilot on S. 19th Avenue and S. 20th Avenue between Washington Street and Jackson Street. Both avenues will switch from two-way to one-way traffic. The city says the project aims to improve traffic flow, parking and bicycle safety, and neighborhood connectivity.
Crews will also rebuild intersection corners and alley connections with ADA-accessible ramps, regrade swales to help stormwater drainage, add on-street parallel parking and install a dedicated bike lane. Access to homes, businesses and alleys will stay open during construction. Residents are reminded to keep vehicles off swales, which is generally prohibited under City Code Section 72.022.
Repairs are also underway on the Johnson Street and Sherman Street bridges, running from July 13, 2026, through Feb. 25, 2027. The Johnson Street bridge will be fully closed to vehicles and pedestrians until Dec. 30, with a detour in place. After that date, one lane will open under a temporary signal, with eastbound and westbound traffic taking turns, and pedestrians will have one side of the bridge. The C-10 Canal at the Sherman Street bridge will close to boat traffic from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday during construction.
Separately, Broward County is raising the Sheridan Street bridge over Florida’s Turnpike by two feet to a 16-foot, 6-inch vertical clearance. The work will happen in phases and will bring temporary lane closures, nightly traffic diversions, pedestrian detours and overnight work along Sheridan Street and the Turnpike. Business and residential access will remain open.
Drivers who use these corridors should plan for delays. For details, residents can call the city’s Engineering, Transportation and Mobility office at 954-921-3900.
