Construction Project to Create Temporary Closures on Section of Dolphin Expressway

A section of the Dolphin Expressway will be closed overnight a few days this week for a construction project.

Two lanes on eastbound and westbound State Road 836 will be closed at 9 p.m. Monday, with all lanes closed at 11:45 p.m. from Northwest 17th Avenue to Northwest 12th Avenue until 5:30 a.m. Tuesday.

All lanes will also be closed on Thursday, Nov. 11, from 11:45 p.m. to 5:30 a.m.

On Wednesday, Nov. 10, all eastbound travel lanes from Northwest 17th Avenue to Northwest 12th Avenue will be closed from 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. and all westbound travel lanes closed from 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The closures are part of the I-395/SR 836/I-95 Design-Build Project, which is designed to add capacity, enhance the flow of traffic and safety, and improve access along these roads.

Drivers on westbound SR 836 can:

• Exit at the Northwest 12th Avenue ramp, then turn left on Northwest 12th Avenue
• Turn right on Northwest 7th Street
• Turn right on Northwest 17th Avenue to connect with the westbound SR 836 ramp

Drivers on eastbound SR 836 can:

• Exit at the Northwest 17th Avenue South (Ballpark) ramp, then turn right at Northwest 17th Avenue
• Turn left at Northwest 7th Street
• Turn left at Northwest 12th Avenue to connect with eastbound SR 836 ramp

The construction project is set to reconstruct the I-395 corridor from the SR 836/I-395/I-95 (Midtown) Interchange to the MacArthur Causeway Bridge. Changes include the construction of a signature bridge over NE 2 Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard, double-deck SR 836 from west of NW 17 Avenue to the Midtown Interchange, and the replacement of the concrete pavement on I-95 from NW 8 Street to NW 29 Street.
