Interstate changes affect drivers from downtown Miami to Miami Beach

MIAMI – Drivers will face changes as construction continues on Interstate 395, the short west-east connector between the Dolphin Expressway, also known as State Road 836, and the MacArthur Causeway, also known as State Road A1A.

Drivers traveling southbound on Interstate 95 and turning eastbound to I-395 will have a new ramp starting on Wednesday, according to the Florida Department of Transportation and the Greater Miami Expressway Agency.

Oscar Gonzalez, a spokesman for the I-395/SR 836/I-95 Project, said drivers who are traveling westbound from the MacArthur Causeway, which connects Miami Beach and downtown Miami, will also have to keep an eye out for new signage.

The signs will guide drivers heading to I-95 northbound to new bridges on the outside right lane and drivers heading to I-95 southbound to the inside left lane, according to Gonzalez.

Drivers heading to SR-826 should remain in the center lane to continue westbound.
