BCT Route 7 Adjusts for Harrison Street Work

BCT Route 7 detours via Hollywood Boulevard due to Harrison Street construction

BCT Route 7 Detours on Harrison Street

Broward County Transit riders using eastbound Route 7 will need to board at different stops due to construction on Harrison Street. Two bus stops on the route are closed, and buses are detouring through Hollywood Boulevard, Dixie Highway, and Washington Street, transit officials said. The detour affects service between S. 19th Avenue and S. 20th Avenue, though officials haven't said when the construction will be completed.

Stop Closures and Detour Route

BCT Stop ID 3016 at eastbound Harrison Street east of 21st Avenue and BCT Stop ID 3017 at eastbound Harrison Street east of 19th Avenue are closed due to the construction work. Eastbound Route 7 buses now travel east on Hollywood Boulevard, turn south on Dixie Highway to Washington Street, then head east on Washington Street to US 1/Federal Highway before turning north and resuming the regular route. Officials didn't provide details about the nature or scope of the Harrison Street construction project.

Construction Impact Details

The construction zone spans Harrison Street between S. 19th Avenue and S. 20th Avenue, requiring the temporary closure of the two eastbound stops. Transit officials said the detour route was designed to minimize delays while maintaining service to the area. Specific information about how much time the detour adds to trips wasn't available. The agency hasn't said whether westbound Route 7 service is affected by the construction or if additional routes face similar disruptions.

Timeline and Duration

Officials haven't announced when the Harrison Street construction will be completed or when the two stops will reopen. The transit agency typically provides advance notice of planned construction-related detours, but a specific start date for this detour wasn't provided. BCT hasn't said whether the construction is part of a larger street improvement project or a standalone repair.

Rider Information and Updates

Route 7 riders should plan for the detour and use alternate stops outside the construction zone. Officials said passengers can board at stops along the detour route on Hollywood Boulevard, Dixie Highway, Washington Street, and US 1/Federal Highway.
