Special traffic advisory on MIC-Earlington Heights Connector construction


(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- 
 Overnight on Sunday, October 11, 2009 from 10:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.:  As part of the Miami-Dade Transit's Miami Intermodal Center (MIC)-Earlington Heights Connector Project, the following closure will impact traffic on State Road 112 (Airport Expressway) for the construction of a pier foundation for the future elevated Metrorail guideway adjacent to the eastbound mainline.

  • The right lane on eastbound S.R. 112 will be temporarily closed between NW 27th and 37th avenues.
     

The above information is subject to change if the contractor's schedule is altered due to unforeseen circumstances.  For more information, please refer to the contact name listed above.

The Miami Intermodal Center (MIC)-Earlington Heights Connector is a 2.4-mile elevated Metrorail extension from the existing Earlington Heights Metrorail Station to the MIC next to Miami International Airport. This vital project will provide a reliable Metrorail connection to the airport for the millions of residents, visitors and employees who travel to and from MIA every year. The project also will provide a boost to the local economy by creating jobs and facilitating work-related travel and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
