SR 836 Interchange Improvements at 87th Avenue
Construction is underway of the SR 836/Dolphin Expressway Interchange Improvements at NW 87th Avenue that served Doral and the industrial and commercial areas of West Dade. The project completes system-to-system connections between SR 836 and the Palmetto Expressway and provides increased capacity to meet future traffic needs along SR 836. The main purpose of the project is to improve traffic operations and safety of the SR 836 and NW 87th Avenue Interchange by reconstructing the entrance and exit ramps and widening NW 12th Street between NW 87th and NW 82nd Avenues. The project includes the partial reconstruction of SR 836 and NW 87th Avenue Interchange including replacement of all SR 836 bridges over NW 87th Avenue and widening of NW 12th Street. A significant improvement is the addition of a new flyover entrance ramp that provides a direct connection from westbound NW 12th Street to westbound SR 836. The new entrance ramp substantially reduces congestion at the intersection of NW 87th Avenue and NW 12th Street. The project also includes the construction of sound barriers, signing and pavement markings, lighting, drainage, utility coordination, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) infrastructure and landscaping.
Project Status: Construction is underway and is approximately 85% complete. The eastbound and westbound mainline in this segment is in its final configuration improving traffic flow throughout the project limits. The on ramp from northbound NW 87th Avenue to westbound SR 836 is open to traffic. Completion of reconstruction of NW 12th between NW 82nd and NW 87th Avenue is underway. Project completion is scheduled for fall/winter 2019.
