For the past few years the City of Pompano Beach has been planning, designing and budgeting for the replacement of the McNab Road Bridge over the C-14 canal. This bridge was last inspected by the Florida Department of Transportation on 3/31/24 with the result it is deemed “Functionally Obsolete”.
The signs, advertising the project, have been up for a while. The project dashboard indicates the First phase will be the “Streetscape” portion, with work starting May/June ’25 with completion November ‘26. The Second phase will be the replacement of the McNab Road Bridge, with expected start in May ’26, with completion expected September ’26. The Bridge will be closed to automobile traffic for the duration of construction. Original discussions called for a Temporary Bridge, but apparently it was deemed not feasible. As a result, expect traffic flow to increase through the neighborhood between McNab and NE 62nd Street, as well as increased traffic flow on NE 62nd Street in both directions.
Imperial Point homes on the water will benefit with the higher bridge clearance of four (4) feet; allowing for a wider tide window on when you can get out/in, and/or bigger water toys. This clearance has evolved over time from 4’, to no increase, then back to 4’.
