Project Update

The 41 Street Water Main Replacement project saw an interruption in construction activities as the contractor's work was contingent on clearance from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). This permit has since been issued, and operations can proceed as scheduled.

The contractor is now connecting the water mains on the west side of the project before transitioning to the east side on Thursday, August 22, 2024. The work scheduled for Thursday will be performed overnight, between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Please know that the lapse in construction has not affected the final completion of this project, which is still scheduled for September 2024.

Phase 3: Temporary Traffic Pattern Changes

• 41 Street westbound between Pine Tree Drive and Indian Creek Drive will remain one lane.
• 41 Street between Indian Creek Drive and Collins Avenue will be closed in both directions to all through traffic but remain open to local resident traffic only. Vehicles traveling northbound on Collins Avenue must proceed to 44 Street.
• The dedicated right-turn lane on Indian Creek Drive southbound will be closed. 
• Indian Creek Drive southbound from 44 to 41 Street will be reduced to one straight/turning lane.

Timeline

Regular project 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. Drivers are encouraged to use the MacArthur or 79 Street causeways to avoid delays.
• There may be construction noise due to equipment.
• There may be moderate noise impacts outside of normal working hours, including overnight periods, due to ongoing operations.
• A staging area will be set up within the closed lane.
• Emergency vehicles will always have access.
• There will be increased off-duty police presence during construction hours.

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.
