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 following an alternate path through Hollywood and along major corridors. Officials didn't specify when the construction began or how long the detour will remain in effect.

Construction Closes Two Stops

The construction work is taking place on Harrison Street between S. 19th Avenue and S. 20th Avenue, according to the transit agency. Two eastbound stops—BCT Stop ID 3016 east of 21st Avenue and BCT Stop ID 3017 east of 19th Avenue—are temporarily closed while the work continues. Transit agencies typically close stops during street construction to ensure rider safety and allow contractors access to work zones. Officials haven't said what type of construction is underway or whether it's related to road repairs, utility work, or other infrastructure improvements.

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 continue east on Washington Street to US 1/Federal Highway, then head north on US 1/Federal Highway before resuming the regular route. The detour adds several turns through Hollywood's street grid but keeps buses on major arterials. Officials didn't provide information about how much time the detour adds to trips or whether westbound service is affected by the construction.

Timeline Remains Unclear

Transit officials haven't announced when the construction will be completed or when the two Harrison Street stops will reopen. The agency also didn't say when the detour began or provide advance notice details for riders. Construction-related detours typically last several weeks to several months depending on project scope, but specific duration wasn't available.

What Riders Need to Know

Passengers who normally board at the two closed Harrison Street stops should plan to use alternate stops along the detour route or nearby Route 7 stops that remain open. Officials said riders should expect schedule variations while the detour is in place.
