Lane Closures Notice: Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project on Northbound University Drive

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DECEMBER 16, 2024

Lane closures expected at the intersection of University Drive and Orange Drive

DAVIE, Fla. - The Town of Davie Utilities Operations Department is conducting a sanitary sewer improvements project at the existing sewer force mains north of the intersection of University Drive and Orange Drive (east side of the road). Lane closures will occur beginning December 17, 2024 and are anticipated to conclude on December 23, 2024.

Work will be performed by Murphy Pipeline Contractors, Inc. The contractor will use pipe bursting or drilling methods to replace the sanitary sewer force mains. These methods will limit the disruption of traffic. Please note that there will be no sewer service interruptions while work is performed.

Affected Areas (see map):

  • Intersection of University Drive and Orange Drive

What to Expect:

  • Outdoor Noise - Construction sounds are expected to be produced by operating equipment necessary for the sewer force pipe replacement.
  • Traffic Disruptions - While construction crews are performing work, residents will experience traffic delays.
    • One lane of University Drive northbound from Orange Drive will be closed during the day and two lanes will be closed at night.
    • Orange Drive (westbound) will be closed from SW 78th Drive to University Drive. Residential access to University Drive from Orange Drive will be temporarily detoured to Griffin Road during construction. Eastbound lane will be open for local traffic.
    • Access from University Drive to businesses, pedestrians and bus stops will remain open.

For additional project information, please contact the Town of Davie Utilities Operations Department at 954-327-3742 or visit www.davie-fl.gov/925/Wastewater-Collections.
