Town of Indian Creek Bridge Improvments to the Town of Indian Creek Bridge Tri-Rail Coastal Link Downtown Miami Broward County Line The roadway network in northeastern Miami-Dade is largely built-out and unable to be widened further. The project would provide passenger rail service in a PTP (Northeast) Corridor, allowing for improved and reliable transit travel times for both intra Miami-Dade and inter- county trips. The project also supports local redevelopment plans and economic development efforts. SR-836 (Dolphin) Passenger rail on the FEC corridor This project will provide improvements to the Indian Creek Bridge which connects the Village of Indian Creek, an island community in Biscayne Bay, to the greater Miami area. The bridge was built in 1929, and the concrete arched girder structure has surpassed its life expectancy. While not structurally deficient, it is imperative to plan for the bridge replacement in order to provide uninterrupted transportation service to island residents for years to come.
