Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This project comprises the reconfiguration of the primary on-Port roadway network to separate the Port's growing cargo and cruise activities and provide for safer, more efficient vehicular movements. It also includes construction of a cargo security gate. The project paves the way for the development of the Port tunnel, which will provide a direct connection between the Port and the Interstate, an essential, but missing, link in the Port;s intermodal transportation system. The Port tunnel is included in FDOT's work program and is supported by the Miami-Dade expressway authority, local and regional businesses, and the community interests. Because the tunnel is a long term project, the Port wishes to be proactive in acclerating these on-Port improvements both to alleviate existing conditions and to prepare for movement throught the tunnel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Creation of approximately 35,000 jobs, from $350 to $460 million in incremental tax revenues annually based on Portwide activity trucks will be able to make 30% more trips if they could move across the Port more efficiently.
