    Glass Artwork

    State of the Art Design

    The artwork of renowned artist Michele Oka Doner will be displayed at the Concourse Level Vestibule where all modes of transportation converge.  The glass artwork will resemble an underwater canopy of plant life that reflects an ever-changing fluid and intricate pattern called "Sargassum". This new station will be the most dramatic portion of the AirportLink.

    AirportLink Metrorail Extension Project

    In May 2009, Miami-Dade County broke ground on the AirportLink Metrorail Extension Project, a 2.4-mile extension of Metrorail that will run from the existing Earlington Heights station to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), now under construction next to Miami International Airport (MIA).

    Scheduled to open in spring 2012, the AirportLink is considered the centerpiece of the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) , approved by Miami-Dade voters in 2002. The bulk of the funding for the $506 million project will come from the PTP half-penny tax, with the Florida Department of Transportation contributing $101.3 million.

    The AirportLink 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.
