The Golden Glades Interchange (GGI) Project spans more than 10 miles of roadway and ramps and will enhance regional mobility and reduce travel times by revitalizing this major transportation interchange, which includes connections to five essential roadway systems in the South Florida area: State Road (SR) 9A/I-95, SR 826/Palmetto Expressway, SR 91/Florida’s Turnpike, SR 9 and SR 7/US 441/NW 7 Avenue.
The I-395/SR 836/I-95 Project is a partnership between the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Greater Miami Expressway Agency (GMX), with construction limits on State Road (SR) 836 beginning at NW 17 Avenue and continuing through the SR 836/I-395/I-95 (Midtown) Interchange to the MacArthur Causeway Bridge.
The limits on I-95 are from NW 8 Street to NW 29 Street. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2027 at a cost of $840 million.
95 Express Lanes Phase 3C will extend the existing Express Lanes north from just south of Hollywood Boulevard to just south of Broward Boulevard in Broward County.
One lane will be added and the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane will be converted to create two Express Lanes in each direction.
The number of General Use lanes will remain the same. Other project improvements include construction of I-95/I-595 Direct Connectors between 95 Express Lanes and I-595, as well as reconstruction, milling, resurfacing and widening of I-595 from SR-7 to I-95 and along I-95 from south of Hollywood Boulevard to south of Broward Boulevard.
Additional work includes bridge widening along I-95 at several locations, painting of 17 bridges within project limits, I-95/SR 84 interchange modifications, Integrated Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Installation, including cameras, detectors and dynamic message signs to optimize traffic operations, tolling/gantry construction, ramp signalization implementation at the interchanges, lighting, signage and drainage installation and construction of shoulder–mounted sound walls and retaining walls.
Contract time for this $457 million Design/Build project began Wednesday, January 2, 2019 with design activites. Construction began in July 2019 and is expected to be completed in spring 2025.
