Miami-Dade Transit’s Metrorail AirportLink construction update
Written by jrood
The temporary nighttime lane closures of all eastbound and westbound lanes on NW 25 Street between NW 39 Avenue and NW 37 Avenue, originally scheduled to take place from June 16-July 1, have been rescheduled to take place starting July 12 through July 26. As part of the Miami-Dade Transit's Metrorail AirportLink Project, the above closures will be implemented in order to conduct activities necessary for the construction of the new Metrorail extension. All lanes will be closed at 9 p.m. each night and will reopen at 5 a.m. the following morning. Detour signs will be posted directing motorists to the below alternate routes.
The AirportLink project 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.
