Subject: Honda Commercial - MacArthur Causeway
Date: October 13, 2003
Please be advised that on Wednesday, October 15, between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm, a
commercial production is requesting to stage a rolling roadblock along MacArthur
Causeway to film aerial shots for a Honda car commercial. The rolling roadblock requires
no lane closure, but will slow traffic intermittently. The production has approval from the
Film and Print Division, as well as FDOT to use one eastbound lane of the causeway. The
car being filmed will have front and back police escorts, and aerial shots will be taken from
a helicopter (FAA approved). Other than slowed traffic in one eastbound lane, there
should be no impediments to the flow of traffic. As this is being done during off-peak
hours, it is anticipated that the traffic impact will be minimal.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
