RE: Renovations to Pedestrian Overpass
University Drive/Tamarac Elementary
School (B.C.E.D. Project No. 5181).
Dear Mr. Verma:
Two (2) different Maintenance of Traffic arrangements are being
considered by the Engineering/Traffic Engineering Divisions for the
above project. Please give us the City of Tamarac's preference in
this matter at your earliest convenience.
Plan "A"
In order to allow the overpass contractor to work (basically)
uninterrupted by vehicular traffic, University Drive would be
closed (except for local traffic) between McNab Road and Southgate
Boulevard, beginning at around 8:00 p.m. Friday night and
continuing through about 6:00 a.m. the following Monday morning.
It is anticipated that University Drive would have to be closed for
three (3) separate weekends.
Plan "B"
During the estimated five -month construction period, up to two (2)
lanes (in each direction) of University Drive would be closed for
a distance of approximately 2,600 feet North and South of the work
zone, for varying periods of time. During peak traffic hours (7:00
to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.) two (2) traffic lanes would be
maintained in each direction.
Very truly yours,
