The 95 Express Project will be conducted in several phases. Phase 1 (consisting of Phase 1A and 1B) includes the area between SR 836 / I-395 and Miami Gardens Drive/NW 186th Street in Miami-Dade County. Phase 2 includes the area between the Golden Glades and I-595 in Broward County.
Phase 1A began in February 2008 and electronic tolling was launched in December 2008. This phase included work on the northbound travel lanes from just south of S.R. 112 / I-195 to the Golden Glades area north of 151st Street. The scope of work for Phase 1A included:
Re-striping northbound travel lanes to provide two express travel lanes and four regular travel lanes (six lanes total)
Modifying the NW 39th Street entrance ramp to I-195 at NW 10th Avenue entrance ramp
Storm water drainage improvements
Shoulder modifications
Installing electronic signage and tolling equipment in the northbound express lanes
Phase 1B began in summer 2008. Electronic tolling is tentatively scheduled to begin in January 2010 and the project is expected to be completed by spring 2010. This phase of construction will establish express lanes along southbound I-95 from the Golden Glades area to just north of S.R. 836. The scope of work for this phase includes:
Modifying on and off ramps between I-95 and SR 112
Re-striping southbound I-95 to provide two express travel lanes and three regular travel lanes
Storm water drainage improvements
Shoulder modifications
Installing electronic signage and tolling equipment in the southbound express lanes
Phase 2, which goes from the Golden Glades area northward to I-595 in Broward, is currently unfunded. A separate contract will be awarded for this phase of the project, and that contractor will provide a separate construction schedule.
