NW 13th Street Sewer Force Main Repair

The City of Fort Lauderdale and Southern Underground Industries are responding to a damaged 24-inch sewer force main along NW 13th Street between NW 9th Avenue and NW 8th Avenue in South Middle River.

The emergency repair is underway as of Thursday, September 25, and it is estimated to take approximately two weeks to complete. Work is taking place around the clock until the repair is completed. This schedule is subject to change based on inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

The contractor is scheduling work and lane closures to minimize impacts on school operations at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School. Intermittent noise from heavy machinery, equipment and backup alarms is expected. When work is taking place overnight, temporary lights will be used to illuminate the work area. The contractor will take measures to reduce light and noise impacts for surrounding neighbors.

Traffic Impacts

• One eastbound lane of NW 13th Street between NW 9th Avenue and NW 8th Avenue will be closed while this work is underway.
• A portion of the right turn lane from eastbound NW 13th Street to the entrance of Thurgood Marshall Elementary School at NW 8th Avenue will be closed during work hours. Right turns will be permitted from the open through lane.
• The sidewalk along the south side of NW 13th Street between NW 9th Avenue and NW 8th Avenue will be closed during work hours.
• The contractor will attempt to reopen all lanes and the sidewalk to accommodate peak school drop-off and pick-up times.
• Please follow posted signs and drive with caution in the area

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience and thank our neighbors for their patience during this repair. This page will be updated as the repair progresses.
