Workers put the finishing touches on the combined Hiatus and Flamingo Road ramps, Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012, in Davie.

A major ramp change beginning Friday morning will affect how drivers get off westbound Interstate 595 at Hiatus and Flamingo roads. At 5 a.m. Friday, the combined off-ramp will open, and the current ramps will permanently close.

Drivers trying to enter westbound I-595 from Nob Hill or Hiatus roads will find those on-ramps closed. Instead, they’ll travel west on State Road 84 and merge onto I-595 just east of Flamingo.

The changes are designed to improve traffic flow and eliminate weaving caused by traffic entering I-595 in the same spot as traffic trying to get to the next exit.
