The City of Hollywood is repairing the Johnson Street and Sherman Street bridges, with work scheduled to run through Feb. 25, 2027. The project includes concrete and guardrail repairs and sheet pile installation on the northeast and northwest corners.
Both bridges will be fully closed to vehicles and pedestrians until Dec. 30, 2026, and a detour will be posted. From Dec. 30 through late February, one travel lane will reopen under a temporary signal, with eastbound and westbound traffic taking turns. Pedestrians will be able to cross on one side of the bridge. Boat traffic on the C-10 Canal at the Sherman Street Bridge will stop from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday during construction.
Separately, the city plans a pilot project that would convert South 19th and South 20th avenues between Washington and Jackson streets from two-way to one-way traffic. The plan adds parallel parking, a dedicated bike lane, ADA-accessible ramps at intersection corners and regraded swales for stormwater. Access to homes and businesses will be maintained, and residents were reminded not to park in swale areas.
Broward County is also raising the Sheridan Street Bridge over Florida’s Turnpike by two feet to meet current vertical clearance standards. Crews will work in phases, with lane closures, nightly traffic diversions and overnight work expected along Sheridan Street and the Turnpike.
Residents with questions about the bridge work or the pilot can call the city’s Engineering, Transportation and Mobility office at 954-921-3900 or visit HollywoodFL.org.
