Reviewing Active FDOT Construction Projects in Broward County
Although all businesses across the country have experienced some uncertainty over the last few months, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel. For construction companies focused on transportation projects, there are some lucrative opportunities to take advantage of during a forecasted economic downturn. We recently covered how the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is accelerating critical infrastructure projects. Broward County is home to several highway projects valued at over $100 million dollars.
Although the projects we will cover in this article are active, there may be subcontractor opportunities still available for your business. Plus, there will be many more projects like these in the coming years as America begins to refocus on improving its national infrastructure. In this brief article, a Broward contractor attorney will discuss three Broward County transportation projects with estimated construction costs exceeding $100 million each.
