Project Update

The city's contractor will begin asphalt repairs by the end of the week. This activity is scheduled to take place during the daytime. Temporary street markings will be installed once the work is completed, followed by permanent street markings two weeks later. 

The final task of abandoning the old water main will take place on September 9-13. To perform this work, the contractor will close one southbound lane as well as the right turn lane on Indian Creek Drive. Please know that all westbound lanes on 41 Street, west of the bridge, will be open.

The roadway will reopen to the public immediately after asphalt repairs and temporary street markings are made. Please know that final completion is anticipated for the third week of September, once permanent roadway markings are installed.

Phase 3: Temporary Traffic Pattern Changes

• 41 Street westbound between Pine Tree Drive and Indian Creek Drive is open to all traffic. The street will close again at the end of the week only to complete resurfacing and temporary striping.
• Westbound traffic is closed on 41 Street between Collins and Indian Creek Drive. Vehicles traveling northbound on Collins Avenue must proceed to 44 Street.

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.
