New Ramps Opening to SW 8th Street from Palmetto, Dolphin Expressways This Weekend

This Saturday, drivers traveling southbound on the Palmetto Expressway and both directions of the Dolphin Expressway will get a chance to take new exit ramps onto Southwest 8th Street. The exit will be combined with the one for Flagler Street currently in operation.

Until then, though, drivers will have to deal with closures along both roads for the next two nights that will have a drastic effect on how they travel. It will also have an effect on drivers who try to get on State Road 826 and 836 from both Flagler and NW 25th Street.
