ProfMHC Posted January 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Anyone know if the “back door” is still open from the 17th street hotels to berth 2? Walking of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted January 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Not sure what you are referring to - Eisenhower Blvd? If so yes it is open and there is no security checkpoint before entry to terminals 2 and 4 and the Heron Garage. More than a few years ago the security checkpoint was moved south of that on Eisenhower Blvd. See the map on the Port Everglades website: www.porteverglades.net.

MissP22 Posted January 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I didn't try to walk to 17th street but it appeared that the whole back area is closed off since the cranes are constructing the new garage and room is limited. I doubt if they would let anyone enter the area since it's under major construction. You'll have to go all the way out to Eisenhower Blvd to get to 17 street. If I can find a photo from last week, I'll post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full completion is projected (at this early date) to be late 2025. https://www.visitlauderdale.com/meetings-and-groups/venues/convention-center/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to conceive that they have sufficient space to build all of that in such a small area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfMHC Posted January 10, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Thanks to everyone. Because we will be there an extra day I think we will enjoy the warm weather and take a walk from the Hilton Marina and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
