But how long will the work last?
We’ve previously discussed the $840 million project aimed at improving traffic flow by expanding key routes—but when will it be complete?
Among the highlights: a two-level expressway along SR 836 (known as the Dolphin Expressway), and a striking new illuminated bridge with six arches spanning Biscayne Boulevard. Once finished, the 100-meter-tall bridge will become a new landmark on Miami’s skyline.
The first arch of the bridge, located near the Adrienne Arsht Center, was completed in June. Work continues on the remaining five arches, with segments already installed on three and foundation work underway on the other two. At the same time, construction of the two-level expressway is progressing steadily, with support structures and columns in place and recent progress in concrete pouring.
The project—officially called Connecting Miami—is currently scheduled for completion by late 2027, though that timeline could shift depending on construction progress. In the meantime, the installation of beams over NW 17th Avenue will allow the existing structure to be moved eastward.
