On May 1, 2009, Miami-Dade County leaders broke ground on a 2.4-mile extension of Metrorail from the existing Earlington Heights Station to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) under construction next to Miami International Airport.

Scheduled to open in April 2012, the Airport Link will run from the Earlington Heights Station at 2100 NW 41st Street along State Road 112 to the MIC, which is being developed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

The MIC is a giant centralized transportation hub that will provide provide seamless access to all modes of transportation, including Metrobus, Metrorail, Tri-Rail, Amtrak, Greyhound, tour buses, taxicabs and rental cars. An  automated  people  mover will connect the MIC to  the airport.

The Airport Link will provide a fast, reliable Metrorail connection to MIA for the millions of residents, visitors and employees who travel to and from MIA every year. With this project, Miami-Dade County joins the ranks of major metropolitan areas around the world with rapid transit connections to their airports.
