Project Description:
The terminal roadway project is a two-level interchange that provides ingress and engress for the airport. The interchange is mainly on FDOT right-of-way. The new interchange will require southbound traffic from I-595 and US-1, which represents 80 percent of all incoming airport traffic, to make a 270-degree loop, which then provides improved weave and merge distances allowing substantial improvement to airport access from I-95/I-595 and local and state highways. The new entrance loop will replace the existing entrance bridges by merging the southbound and northbound traffic on single alignment grade which creates and overpass leading into the airport. The effect on flow will be a nayural slowing of traffic, which is necessary for safety and adequate decision time as traffic approaches the terminal complex. The roadway project will provide for direct access into the new parking garage as well.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
The project is on the state right of way and serves over 13.5 million passengers (traveling public)to and from the airport.
