Traffic Watch: Roadwork resumes on State Roads 836, 826, I-95, Florida’s Turnpike

After the Labor Day holiday, roadwork will resume, tying up traffic on State Roads 836, 826, I-95, the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike, as well as on Northwest 25th Street and Northwest 87th Avenue.

The entrance ramp to eastbound 836 from southbound Northwest 12th Avenue will be closed for adjustments to an electronic toll collection gantry from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. through Thursday. At the same time, and for the same purpose, the entrance ramp to eastbound 836 from northbound Northwest 57th Avenue will be closed through Thursday.

Meanwhile, all southbound 826 lanes will be closed at Northwest 25 Street on Wednesday and possibly Thursday between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. so workers can install an overhead sign.

All westbound Northwest 25th Street lanes will be closed at 826 at 9 p.m. Friday and reopen 5:30 a.m. Saturday so workers can work on the overhead bridge.

Southbound Northwest 87th Avenue will be closed from Northwest 25th Street to Northwest 21st Terrace on Thursday, and possibly Friday, between 10 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. so workers can install drainage under the roadway.

On the Turnpike, two northbound or southbound lanes may be closed nightly at various locations between Southwest 216th Street and Eureka Drive between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. through Thursday for widening and express lane construction.

The northbound I-95 ramp to westbound 826 and the Turnpike will be closed Thursday at 9 p.m. and reopened Friday at 5:30 a.m., and closed again Friday from 10 p.m. to Saturday at 10 a.m. for paving. For the same purpose, the southbound I-95 ramp to the Turnpike and westbound 826 will be closed nightly from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. through Thursday, and then again on Friday and Saturday, from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m.

Workers have begun installing a drainage pipe across Northwest 106th Street, just east of the Turnpike northbound and southbound entrance and exit ramps at the 106th Street interchange — a project that may require closing of the ramps Friday through Sunday and again next weekend.
