The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Six, has scheduled a Public Kick-Off Meeting regarding the proposed improvements to State Road (SR) 826/Palmetto Expressway from US 1/SR 5/Dixie Highway to SR 836/Dolphin Expressway in Miami-Dade County. The study will evaluate corridor improvements that will add highway and interchange capacity with the implementation of an express lanes system and interchange improvements. The study will focus on addressing existing and future traffic needs, improving travel time reliability, enhancing safety and long-term mobility options along the corridor. This meeting will provide an opportunity for the public to learn about the project, become familiar with the study process, and provide initial feedback. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pursuant to 23 U.S.C. §327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016 and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
