Project Overview

The City of Miami Beach is replacing the aerial water main along 41 Street between Pine Tree Drive and Collins Avenue. This critical project will upgrade the existing infrastructure to a 20-inch pipe via horizontal directional drilling. Once completed, the new pipe will provide the necessary flow capacity to support increasing demand along Collins Avenue.

Project Update

The 41 Street Water Main Replacement project is currently underway. To address a few concerns that were observed during the first few days of implementation, the project team has modified the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan. 

Please see below for the most recent MOT adjustments:



Phase I: Temporary Traffic Pattern Changes (4/23/24 – 5/22/24)

• Indian Creek Drive southbound at 41 Street has been restored to its normal condition, featuring two southbound lanes and one dedicated westbound lane. 
• 41 Street westbound between Pine Tree Drive and Indian Creek Drive will be reduced to one lane.
• 41 Street westbound between Indian Creek Drive and Collins Avenue will be closed to westbound traffic. Detours will be provided. 
• 41 Street from Collins Avenue east to the street end (Beachwalk) will be local traffic only.
• 41 Street and Pine Tree Drive westbound, there will be no option to turn left.

Timeline

This project is expected to conclude in September 2024. Work hours are Monday–Friday, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Due to the nature of this operation and heavy machinery, a 24-hour lane closure will be in effect.

Please know that this schedule may change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.

What to Expect

• Commuters to and from Miami Beach will face delays on 41 Street due to lane closures. Please plan accordingly and seek an alternate route, when possible. 
• There may be construction noise due to equipment. 
• There may be moderate noise impacts outside of normal working hours. 
• A staging area will be installed within the closed lane.
• Emergency vehicles will always have access.
• There will be increased off-duty police presence during construction hours.
