McNab Road and Bridge Plans

McNab Road Streetscape and Bridge Replacement Project

McNab Bridge & Road Closures will begin Monday, April 13, 2026 and are scheduled to re-open to traffic on October 1, 2026.

Background:

In 2018, voters overwhelmingly supported the "G.O. Pompano!" bond initiative, a bold investment aimed at enhancing infrastructure, improving public safety, and elevating the overall quality of life for the residents of Pompano Beach.

As part of this initiative, 25 high-impact projects were prioritized across three key categories:

Public Safety
Parks, Recreation & Leisure
Bridges and Streetscaping

Among these, McNab Road—a vital east-west corridor featuring a bridge originally constructed in 1959—was identified as a priority project. This corridor plays a critical role in connecting neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and community spaces, making it a central focus for improvements that will better serve our growing community.

Construction Timeline (progress and schedule update):

To date, construction crews have achieved significant progress. Overall, the project streetscape phase of the work is on schedule. The following major milestones have been substantially achieved:

Utilities installation (including stormwater infrastructure, water, wastewater systems, Gas, etc.)
Flatwork construction of the new concrete curbs and sidewalks is 90% completed
Florida Power & Light conduits and poles installation are 80 % completed

The next phase of construction is anticipated to begin on April 13,2026, when full road closure activities are planned to take place for the bridge demolition and reconstruction. This is a critical timeline to minimize the overlap period of construction activities with the upcoming school year calendar 26-27. The closure will affect pedestrian and vehicular traffic at the bridge. The South Florida Water Management District has approved a plan that will allow the bridge to remain open to marine traffic throughout construction. Local traffic (residents and businesses), transit vehicles, as well as mail, trash, and delivery services, will continue to have access at all times but through-traffic is to be re-routed along a planned detour. The bridge is scheduled to be reopened to traffic on October 1^st, 2026.

Some benefits of the new bridge are as follow:

Replace obsolete" structure with modern design for improved traffic flow and safety for bike/pedestrian
Reduce maintenance costs with an extended lifespan of 50+ years.
Improved aesthetics and better neighborhood connectivity with potential boost to local home prices.
Enhance access for larger vessels and better safety for navigation due to increased clearances

Project Scope:

Project Scope: McNab Road Streetscape & Bridge Replacement

The McNab Road Streetscape and Bridge Replacement Project will modernize the corridor between South Cypress Road and Federal Highway, addressing key maintenance issues and upgrading outdated infrastructure to meet current standards.

Driven by extensive community input, the project will address challenges such as a functionally obsolete bridge, narrow sidewalks, aging utilities and mitigate flooding.

Key improvements include:

ADA-compliant sidewalks and ramps
Road resurfacing, lighting, and drainage upgrades
New pedestrian and bike facilities
Improved bus stops and shelters
Utility infrastructure enhancements
Full bridge replacement to boost safety, resiliency, and navigability
Landscaping enhancements for a cohesive look and improved walkability

These updates will create a safer, more connected, and more resilient corridor for all users.

Benefits:

Beyond the visible enhancements, this Complete Streets project will unlock a range of transformative, long-term benefits that go far beyond infrastructure.

Safer, More Inclusive Streets: Thoughtful design elements such as sidewalks, raised medians, strategically placed bus stops, traffic calming features, and dedicated space for all modes of travel—including people with disabilities—dramatically improve safety for everyone, whether walking, biking, driving, or using transit.
Economic Vitality Through Connectivity: A well-balanced transportation network strengthens the local economy by creating seamless connections between homes, schools, parks, transit hubs, workplaces, and shopping centers. These improvements not only support current residents and workers, but also attract new businesses that value mobility options for their employees and customers.
Healthier Lifestyles and Less Pollution: By making walking and biking safer and more appealing, Complete Streets foster healthier lifestyles and expand transportation choices. This shift can lead to reduced traffic congestion and lower pollution levels—creating a cleaner, more vibrant environment for all.

Ultimately, this initiative will help transform the McNab Road and Bridge corridor into a thriving, livable community—one where people of all ages, abilities, and travel preferences feel safe, connected, and welcomed.
