New connector bridge opening Friday on SR-836/I-395
MIAMI - A new traffic pattern is beginning Friday for drivers connecting onto I-395 via SR-836.
Newly constructed bridges are opening to connect eastbound Dolphin Expressway traffic to eastbound I-395 traffic.
Eastbound drivers will be diverted onto the new connector bridge, drivers heading onto northbound I-95 will stay to the left to exit, and drivers heading onto southbound I-95 will stay to the right to exit.
Once on I-395, drivers exiting to NE 2 Avenue or Biscayne Boulevard will now exit to the right at Exit 2B, and those continuing onto the MacArthur Causeway/Miami Beach will stay in the left two lanes.
As work begins to remove the old connector bridge, closures will impact the area over the weekend on I-95. Here are those details:
