One-Day Closure on Broadmoor Blvd. to Allow Mill-and-Inlay Work
The City has closed northbound Broadmoor Blvd. from Nicklaus Drive to Country Club Drive for one day beginning 6 a.m. Friday, Nov. 7, for mill-and-inlay pavement work tied to a larger corridor improvement project. The closure is expected to affect morning traffic patterns and local access, and drivers have been urged to use alternate routes while crews complete the repairs.

The City announced a one-day closure of northbound Broadmoor Boulevard between Nicklaus Drive and Country Club Drive beginning at 6 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 7, to allow crews to perform mill-and-inlay work as part of a broader corridor upgrade. Work is limited to the northbound lanes for the duration of the one-day operation, officials said, and drivers were urged to use alternate routes during construction.
Municipal crews will remove the top layer of pavement (mill) and replace it with a new wearing course (inlay) on the affected stretch, a common roadway maintenance procedure intended to restore surface ride quality and extend pavement life. The closure is a short-term disruption intended to support the larger Broadmoor Boulevard improvement project, which encompasses multiple upgrades along the corridor.
The timing of the work — starting at 6 a.m. on a Friday — is likely to intersect with the morning commute and could affect residents traveling to work or school, as well as customers and deliveries to nearby businesses. Motorists who regularly use Broadmoor as a northbound route between Nicklaus Drive and Country Club Drive should plan for detours, additional travel time and altered access to driveways or side streets while crews are on site.
Local emergency responders and transit operators typically coordinate with municipal road crews during planned closures to minimize impacts on service and response times, and drivers are encouraged to follow posted signs and temporary traffic controls. The City’s advisory did not list specific alternate routes; motorists are advised to consult City communications or navigation apps for real-time detour information and traffic updates on the morning of Nov. 7.
This one-day closure is part of a phased approach often used in corridor upgrades to concentrate disruptive work into short, intensive periods rather than prolonged, partial closures. Mill-and-inlay operations can be completed quickly when lanes are fully closed to traffic, improving efficiency and reducing the total number of workdays needed on a given segment. The tradeoff can be higher short-term inconvenience for longer-term benefits in roadway safety and durability.
Residents and commuters affected by the project should monitor City announcements for any last-minute schedule changes due to weather or equipment needs. For local businesses and property owners along Broadmoor, the temporary closure may require adjustments to deliveries and customer access on the day of the work. The City’s notice underscores the importance of advance planning for a smoother commute and continued progress on the corridor upgrade.
