Kapsch TrafficCom has announced the successful completion of the Henry E. Kinney Tunnel Rehabilitation and Pedestrian Plaza project in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Led by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the project seeks to enhance both transportation infrastructure and community spaces, setting a new standard for urban integration.
The three-mile tunnel, which began construction in 2021, features a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system that incorporates multiple systems for tunnel safety, traffic management and elements like lighting and air conditioning in the tunnel.
The system also provides real-time data, automated alerts and remote system controls.

The SCADA system reportedly allows transportation authorities to detect and respond to incidents quickly, ensuring minimal disruptions and greater efficiency.
The systems are designed to improve traffic management and safety, ensuring a seamless flow of vehicles through the tunnel and surrounding areas.
Kapsch TrafficCom North America president JB Kendrick said: “The Henry E. Kinney Tunnel project is a shining example of how we can blend safety, mobility, efficiency, and community enhancement.
“It represents a commitment to creating spaces where people can connect and thrive.
“We’re incredibly proud to be part of this initiative, and it truly shows how North American leaders look to Kapsch when they need reliable, innovative solutions for critical infrastructure.”
