Stormwater Improvements Project in Chula Vista

Published on August 13, 2025

The City of Fort Lauderdale and Southeastern Engineering Contractors, Inc. are installing new stormwater infrastructure along SW 28th Terrace (from SW 17th Street to SW 16th Street) and along SW 17th Street (from SW 28th Terrace to SW 28th Way) to help reduce flooding and improve our stormwater system. This project includes:

• Installing 14 drainage structures and 650 feet of 18-inch drainage pipe
• Constructing a headwall around a drainage pipe in the canal between SW 28th Way and SW 28th Terrace to prevent erosion and protect the canal bank where stormwater flows out
• Constructing 6-inch deep swales
• Restoring the roadway and landscaping as needed

Construction will begin on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, and is expected to be completed in November 2025. Work will take place weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. This schedule is subject to change based on inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Traffic Impacts

• One lane in each direction of SW 17th Street from SW 28th Terrace to SW 28th Way will be closed daily during work hours.
