Route 7 Detours Around Harrison Street Work
Route 7 buses detour via Hollywood Boulevard and Dixie Highway due to Harrison Street work
Route 7 Detours on Harrison Street
Riders on Broward County Transit's Route 7 will encounter a detour along Harrison Street due to construction work, transit officials said. Two eastbound stops are closed, and buses are being rerouted through Hollywood Boulevard, Dixie Highway, and Washington Street before returning to the regular route. Officials didn't specify when the construction began or how long the detour will remain in effect.
Stop Closures and Construction Zone
The construction is taking place on Harrison Street between S. 19th Avenue and S. 20th Avenue, according to the transit agency. Two eastbound stops are affected: 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. Officials haven't said what type of construction is underway or whether the work is being done by the city, county, or another entity. The agency also didn't provide information about whether westbound service on the route is affected.
Detour Route Details
Eastbound Route 7 buses will travel east on Hollywood Boulevard, then turn south on Dixie Highway to Washington Street, transit officials said. From there, buses will head east on Washington Street to US 1/Federal Highway, then turn north on US 1/Federal Highway before continuing on the regular route. The detour adds several turns to the route, though officials didn't say how much additional travel time riders should expect. Specific details about alternate stop locations for affected riders weren't available.
Timeline and Duration
Officials haven't announced when the construction work started or provided an estimated completion date. The transit agency typically posts detour information when road work affects bus routes, but a timeline for when Harrison Street will reopen to regular bus service wasn't available. Whether riders will receive advance notice before buses return to the normal route also wasn't specified.
Rider Information and Updates
Riders who regularly use the two closed stops should plan to board at alternate locations along the detour route, though the agency didn't specify which stops are available. Officials said riders should expect changes to their usual boarding locations until construction is complete.
