SR 9 / I-95 PD&E Study

Project Description

The PD&E Study is proposing improvements to the Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Pembroke Road, and Hollywood Boulevard interchanges. The project is located in Broward County, Florida and is contained within the municipalities of Hallandale Beach, Pembroke Park, and Hollywood. The PD&E Study is evaluating the potential modification of existing entrance and exit ramps serving the three interchanges within the project limits. Ramp terminal intersection improvements are also being evaluated at Hallandale Beach Boulevard, Pembroke Road, and Hollywood Boulevard to facilitate the ramp modifications and improve the access and operation of the interchanges.

The study is evaluating a No-Build Alternative and several Build Alternatives. The No-Build (no construction) Alternative includes currently planned and programmed improvements. The PD&E Study compares the No-Build Alternative against the considered Build Alternatives. The study will evaluate the social, economic, physical and environmental impacts associated with the potential improvements.

This study is being coordinated with the following adjacent studies/projects:

Project History and Community Involvement

The PD&E Study began in 2016 after a previous planning study recommended a more detailed evaluation of interchange improvements to address the needs of the area. A Public Kick-off Meeting was held in May 2017 to share information about the study and provide the opportunity for the public to express their comments and concerns regarding the project. In June 2018, an Alternatives Public Workshop was held to present the initial study results and obtain comments regarding the alternatives being considered. A preferred alternative was selected in 2021 and presented at a Public Hearing in September 2021. Subsequent coordination with the local municipalities after the Public Hearing generated several requests to modify the preferred alternative in specific areas to meet their local needs. Therefore, FDOT addressed these requests and evaluated several modifications to the preferred alternative. Between 2023 and 2024, FDOT completed the evaluation and finalized the refinements to the preferred alternative. The refinements were presented to the local municipalities, obtaining concurrence to complete the PD&E Study.
