Miami drivers, we’ve got a little construction chaos coming our way!
Starting this Thursday, all eastbound and westbound lanes on 836 (aka State Road 836) will be closed nightly from 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. between NW 12th and NW 17th Avenue—and yep, it’s happening every night through next Friday, May 16.
Translation: if you’re out late, hitting the gym early, or just trying to get across town, you’re gonna want to reroute. Expect detours, delays, and a whole lotta blinking brake lights.
If you’re headed eastbound, you’ll exit at NW 17th Ave, make your way down to SW 1st Street, then over to South Miami Ave where you can hop on I-95 north or south. Trying to get to Biscayne or the MacArthur Causeway? Keep heading east on 1st Street, then turn onto Biscayne Blvd to link up with the Causeway.
Bottom line: set your GPS, give yourself extra time, and maybe don’t trust the “shortest route” button this week.
Traffic Alert: On May 9, all EB SR 836 lanes will be closed from 11:30 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. on May 10. Mariners should note that on May 10, between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., there will be a temporary drawbridge operating schedule change for the W Flagler St and SW 1 St Bridges. pic.twitter.com/xTrPjdTIqD
