urrently, Tri-Rail traverses the Miami River on a single track Cbridge resulting in a critical capacity constraint. The Miami River – Miami Intermodal Center Capacity Improvement (MR-MICCI) project will add rail capacity across the Miami River and the last 1.25 miles of the South Florida Rail Corridor (SFRC) to greatly improve access and connectivity to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC).
With extensive coordination among partner agencies, the MR-MICCI will evaluate the addition of a second main line railroad track, a new bridge across the Miami River, and signal upgrades, which will improve SFRC capacity for Tri-Rail, freight trains, and the extension of Amtrak intercity rail service to the MIC and improved connections between rail and air travel. Furthermore, the Hialeah Market Tri-Rail station will be enhanced with a new center platform and new continuous canopies for existing passenger shelters.
Included in the Miami-Dade MPO’s 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan and the MR-MICCI will:
