On June 16, 2007, Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) renamed the three major infrastructure projects the Orange Line, which will be constructed in three phases, and extend the Metrorail system by 22 miles.

The Miami Intermodal Center (MIC)/Earlington Heights Corridor is a 2.4-mile extension of the Metrorail system from the existing Earlington Heights Station at NW 22nd Avenue and NW 41st Street, along State Road 112, to the MIC near Miami International Airport (MIA). The project includes one station at the MIC, with connections to TriRail, the Metrobus system, tour buses, taxi cab service, a future Amtrak station, an automated People Mover to MIA, and the airport rental car facility.

The design was completed on January 31, 2008. Right-of-way is being secured, and utilities relocation is underway. The Orange Line Phase 1 is expected to open for service in late 2011. See the photo gallery for a glimpse into the future.
