The eastbound lanes of State Road 836 (Dolphin Expressway) at Northwest 17th Avenue were shut down this Friday due to emergency construction, according to officials with the Florida Department of Transportation.
The lanes were closed until around 10 a.m. “due to a crane mechanical issue,” authorities said. One westbound left lane was also be closed from Interstate 95 to west of Northwest 12th Avenue during the roadwork, FDOT said.
The lanes have since reopened and crews have cleared the area, but “motorists should expect delays as traffic returns to normal flow,” officials said.
Drivers should seek alternate routes, including State Route 112, Flagler Street, Southwest 8th Street or South Dixie Highway.
Officials said the detour below guided drivers around the closure:
- Exit at NW 17 Avenue, then continue south across NW 7 Street
- Turn left at SW 1 Street and continue east
- Turn right at South Miami Avenue
- Turn right to access the ramp to I-95 north or south
- Drivers going to Biscayne Boulevard and the MacArthur Causeway can continue east on SW 1 Street and turn left on Biscayne Boulevard to connect with the MacArthur Causeway entrance ramp at NE 11 Terrace
