A police funeral and ongoing constructi­on projects will contribute to road closures and detours in the coming week.

Fort Lauderdale: Expect heavy traffic delays between Wilton Manors and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale on Monday.

A large police funeral procession will affect traffic along Interstate 95 and Broward Boulevard between 9:45 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Road closures will be in effect from the 400 to 700 blocks of Southwest Second Street and the 100 block of Southwest Fifth Avenue.

Oakland Park: Crosswalk painting will close Oakland Park Boulevard at the Florida East Coast Railway crossing from 7 a.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday. Hollywood: Motorists on Johnson Street won’t be able to drive across State Road 7 from 5 a.m. today through 5 a.m. Monday so crews can install a water main at that intersecti­on.

Traffic on Johnson Street can turn north or south at State Road 7 to get around the work zone.

Traffic on State Road 7 won’t be able to make a left turn onto Johnson Street.

Miramar: The entrance ramp from westbound Miramar Parkway to northbound I-75 will be closed from 2 a.m. today through 5 a.m. Monday so crews can finish rebuilding the ramp.

Miami Gardens :Anew entrance ramp from westbound Miami Gardens Drive to southbound I-75 will open Monday morning.

The new intersecti­on will have traffic signals and it will replace the existing I-75 entrance loop ramp.

Miami-Dade: Get used to the overnight closures of the express lanes on I-95 between State Road 112 and the Golden Glades Interchang­e.

The nearly $90 million project will run until 2020 and will shift lanes and create five emergency stopping areas, among other modificati­ons.

Constructi­on will close the express lanes between 9 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and between 11 p.m. and 11 a.m. Friday and May 27.

Schedules may change depending on poor weather or other unforeseen circumstan­ces, according to the Florida Department of Transporta­tion.
