Planning to drive east on the Dolphin Expressway Friday night? Better read this first
The Dolphin Expressway is on its way to getting a little less congested, but at the cost of a full closure of eastbound SR 836 late Friday night.
The SR 836, Dolphin Expressway, will be undergoing reconstruction that will add a new lane in the most congested areas to make room for a future express bus service, according to the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority.
This reconstruction will be causing a complete closure of all lanes and ramps on eastbound SR 836 from Northwest 137th Avenue to Northwest 72nd Avenue from 11 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday.
Drivers should look for posted detour signs when they approach the closed area. The expressway authority suggests these detours:
