BROWARD COUNTY, FL - The County's Highway
Construction and Engineering Division, in partnership with contractor J&D
Concrete Works Corp., will begin construction on Monday, August 31, 2026, for
the NE 26th Street Road Improvement Project in Wilton Manors. Funding is

expected to be completed in Summer 2027, barring any unforeseen conditions or
weather-related delays.
The project, occurring in District 4 and represented by
Commissioner Lamar Fisher, will extend along NE 26th Street from west of NE
13th Avenue to east of NE 25th Street. It is designed to enhance infrastructure
and improve safety for all corridor users. Improvements include roadway
resurfacing, drainage and utility upgrades, sidewalk and ADA enhancements, and

extra travel time. Pedestrian crossings will remain accessible, with clearly
marked detours provided when necessary. Access to businesses and residences
will be maintained throughout the project.
