Improvement of Biscayne Boulevard Underway

Drivers on Biscayne Boulevard may not have to worry about traffic in the future.

The Florida Department of Transportation is planning to reconstruct the road between Northeast 67th Street and Northeast 78th Street in Miami by widening at least one lane on both directions. This will improve traffic conditions that plagued Biscayne Boulevard for so long. Builders will also improve sidewalks, and install new traffic signals and storm water drainage.

The Florida Department of Transportation said that residents won’t be inconvenienced by the roadwork, although a few sidewalks will be blocked.

The project is set to begin on Oct. 23 and will finish in about 16 months. The cost for the reconstruction is set to $7.25 million.
