The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six, in conjunction with the Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise (FTE), will conduct an Alternatives Public Workshop for the Golden Glades Interchange Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study from State Road (SR) 826/Palmetto Expressway eastbound to I-95 northbound. This workshop is being held to present the results of the PD&E Study to date and to obtain input on the alternatives under consideration. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate options for a direct connection from SR 826/Palmetto Expressway eastbound to I-95 northbound and to improve the Turnpike southbound to I-95 southbound connection in order to increase mobility and reduce travel delay. The project will also identify interim improvements for the GGI and evaluate connecting a potential managed lanes system for SR 826/Palmetto Expressway to the existing 95 Express managed lanes system. These improvements are in support of a separate and adjacent SR 826 PD&E Study, from I-75 to Golden Glades Interchange, currently under study and an Ultimate Master Plan to be established for this interchange.
