FDOT is developing the design for a repaving project to improve the roadway along State Road 972/Coral Way in Miami-Dade County. The limits for the proposed project extend from S.W. 37 Avenue to S.W. 13 Avenue. The project is located in the City of Miami.

The proposed work for this project includes: closing the median at the intersection of Coral Way and S.W. 34 Avenue; modifying access so drivers cannot make right turns from Coral Way onto S.W. 34 Avenue; repaving the roadway to extend the life of the road; reducing the posted speed from 40 mph to 35 mph; widening the sidewalks in certain areas; installing new pedestrian crossings and signals along the corridor; adding new signs, pavement markings and shared lane markings (sharrows); extending the southbound left-turn lane at S.W. 37 Avenue; and removing five parking spaces to stripe a bus bay for the existing bus stop at S.W. 27 Avenue. Construction for the project is expected to begin in October 2013 and last approximately 240 days.
