95 Express in Broward / What you Need to Know

The original seven mile stretch of 95 Express in Miami-Dade has been extended north into Broward County. Now, 95 Express extends from the junction of I-95 and SR836 near downtown Miami to Broward Boulevard near Fort Lauderdale, a total of 21 miles.

As with the original stretch of 95 Express, dynamic (congestion based) tolls are being used to help manage the congestion in Phase 2. The tolls, collected electronically with SunPass transponders, fluctuate based upon the amount of traffic in the express lanes. 95 Express Phase 1 and Phase 2 now provide you with even more options when it comes to your commute. The following information has been gathered to help you plan your trip and use 95 Express. Remember, the choice is yours!

Goals

  • Reduce overall traffic congestion of the I-95 facility
  • Provide a safe, predictable trip in terms of travel time for those customers who choose to use the express lanes
  • Maintain free flow of traffic in the express lanes at 45MPH or greater
  • Increase the people-moving capacity of the highway

How It Works

  • The 95 Express lanes are only for 2-axle vehicles and buses that have a properly mounted SunPass. Trucks with three or more axles are not allowed on 95 Express unless they are designated as emergency vehicles.
  • Roadside equipment monitors traffic in the express lanes and toll prices periodically adjust to maintain free-flowing travel. As traffic in the express lanes increases, the toll price goes up to manage demand. As traffic in the express lanes decreases, toll prices decrease.
  • Drivers will see destination and toll amount signs in advance of express lane entry points that let them know the current toll amount to travel to the destinations displayed. When the driver passes under a toll amount sign, the toll rate is locked in for the destinations shown.
  • The customer will see separate line item entries for each toll gantry passed on their statement. 
  • Violators will be charged the toll plus $25 per 24 hour period in which they violated.
  • Certain vehicles may be exempt from paying tolls, please visit 1800234ride.com.
