Miami-Dade 2040 LRTP - Oct. 23, 2014

EYES ON THE FUTURE | G-25 This project will construct a new north-south expressway that will connect four major regional highways: SR-836 (Dolphin), SR 112 (Airport), SR-924 (Gratigny) and, potentially, SR-826 (Palmetto) in the central area of Miami-Dade County. It will address additional regional capacity needs and will improve system connectivity. The project will improve mobility and freight movements associated with the expansion of the Port of Miami and the demand generated by the Miami International Airport (MIA), the Miami Intermodal center (MIC) and the Opa-Locka Airport. The new highway will reduce future travel times for traffic through the area and will relieve congestion on existing highways as well as on the arterial roads in the central areas of Miami-Dade County. By providing opportunities for bus transit service the new infrastructure will also address multimodal needs. Project Limits From Limits To Description Purpose and Needs Statement I-95 US-1 South of SR-836 (Dolphin)/I-395 Develop and evaluate improvement concepts and perform a detailed planning level operational analysis for the Interstate 95 corridor within District 6. The analysis will include the evaluation of all interchanges, interchange influence areas, and ramp junctions, as well as post-implementation operational conditions of the 95 Express corridor improvements. The purpose of this evaluation will be to identify deficiencies focusing on reoccurring bottlenecks and develop a series of proposed improvements to address the existing and future demands of the corridor. If necessary, multiple improvement alternatives will be developed for the mainline, interchange areas, and system-to-system connections.
