Miami-Dade County to break ground on a new, expanded pedestrian bridge in South Dade
The Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) will join
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade County District 8 Commissioner
Danielle Cohen Higgins, and Village of Palmetto Bay Mayor Karyn Cunningham to celebrate
the start of construction of Snowden Pedestrian Bridge in South Dade.
<p>On Monday, November 17, the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and
Public Works (DTPW) will join Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade
County District 8 Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins, and Village of Palmetto Bay
Mayor Karyn Cunningham to celebrate the start of construction of Snowden Pedestrian
Bridge in South Dade.</p>
<p>Located over the C-100 Canal in Miami-Dade County Commission District 8, the project
highlights the Department of Transportation and Public Works’ (DTPW) ongoing
commitment to enhancing community well-being and public safety through strategic infrastructure
investments. The scope of work includes installing a wider prefabricated pedestrian
bridge and lighting, updating signage and pavement markings, sodding, and enhancing
drainage.</p>
<p>Once completed, the new pedestrian bridge will better accommodate two-way pedestrian
and bicycle traffic, reduce congestion, and provide a safer and better-connected experience
for all. By improving this critical segment of the Old Cutler Trail, DTPW is fostering
safer, more connected neighborhoods and supporting healthier modes of transportation.</p>
