The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Six, has scheduled an Alternatives Public Workshop 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 providing long-term mobility options along the corridor. The Alternatives Public Workshop is being held to present the results of the PD&E Study to date and to obtain input on the alternatives under consideration. Notices are being sent to all property owners and tenants located within at least 500 feet on either side of the corridor’s right of way line, and to other public officials, regulatory agencies, organizations, and individuals interested in the project. 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.
