    July 18, 2018 Tish Burgher, 305-470-5349 [email protected] Florida Department of Transportation Gives Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the I-395/SR 836/I-95 Design-Build Project Miami, FL – The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six along with its partner the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) has given NTP to the Archer Western-de Moya (AW- dMG) Joint Venture to begin work on the $802 million I-395/SR 836/I-95 Design-Build Project. The contract duration is four years. The project limits start at approximately NW 17 Avenue on SR 836 and continue through the SR 836/I-395/I-95 (Midtown) Interchange along I-395 to the MacArthur Causeway Bridge. The limits on I-95 are from NW 8 Street to NW 29 Street. Work on I-395 includes the total reconstruction of the expressway from the Midtown Interchange to the MacArthur Causeway including a new signature bridge over NW 2 Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard. The vertical clearance under the new I-395 bridge will also be increased. SR 836 will be double-decked from NW 17 Avenue over the Midtown Interchange to provide drivers with a direct connection to the MacArthur Causeway Bridge that bypasses local traffic. In addition, the existing eastbound SR 836 ramp to northbound I-95 will be widened to two lanes. Work on I-95 will include the replacement of the concrete pavement within the project limits and adding a lane on I-95 in the northbound direction from the Midtown Interchange to NW 29 Street.

    FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PORT OF MIAMI TUNNEL STUDY Overview of Prior Studies This summary was provided on July 29, 2003 by Jeff V. Easley, PE, Vice President of Reynolds, Smith and Hills as background information for the Public Affairs Team of the current Port of Miami Tunnel Study. Mr. Easley was the project manager of the previous Port of Miami Tunnel PD&E Study, which concluded in December, 2000 resulting in the granting of Location Design Approval from the Federal Highway Administration. In June 1979, an Application for Development Approval for a Development of Regional Impact (ADA-DRI) was prepared for the Port of Miami Master Development Plan. Based on projected cruise passengers, as well as cargo traffic, the report concluded that the existing Port access (Port Boulevard) must be improved to provide additional capacity for future growth. The report recommended that the existing 2-lane bascule bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway be replaced with a 4-lane high-level fixed-span bridge. In addition, several proposals for alternate access to the arterial road network were given a cursory review. These proposals only included bridge alternatives. The report recommended that Port Boulevard be grade-separated over Biscayne Boulevard. The Seaport Development Order (DO) issued by the City of Miami in December 1979, following the approval of the ADA-DRI, required that vehicular access to the Port be examined in detail. This examination was to have two primary objectives: 1) defining an environmentally acceptable truck route from the Port to S.R. 836 and 2) reconsidering the routing of Port Boulevard across Biscayne Boulevard so that the alignment is responsive to the Bicentennial Park expansion, Bayfront Park and Biscayne Boulevard.
