Traffic near Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades can bring some headaches, but soon there will be a new way to get around the area with the Port Everglades Bypass Road Project. “It brings a direct line to our new convention center as well as our new Omni hotel is coming online. More importantly, it relieves our traffic congestion at U.S. 1 and Southeast 17th Street Causeway. Especially our folks who live in Harbordale and Harbor Beach, they’ve been thirsty for this for so long,” said Lamar Fisher, Broward County Commissioner for District 4.
