TRANSPORTATION

OVERVIEW:
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Six, is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for SR 994/SW 200 Street/Quail Roost Drive from West of SW 137 Avenue to East of SW 127 Avenue, in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

STATUS:
During this PD&E phase, the preliminary engineering and documentation required for funding is completed. This includes the review and analysis of potential impacts from the proposed project on the social, economic, natural, physical, and cultural resources in the surrounding environment. Public involvement is an extremely important part of a PD&E Study, to inform citizens about the project and provide interested persons an opportunity to be involved in the development of the project.

GOALS:
The purpose of the proposed improvements is to provide additional capacity to accommodate future travel demand while improving overall safety along the project corridor and enhancing mobility for the surrounding community. Additionally, the project will improve emergency evacuation and response/recovery time for the surrounding communities by providing improved access to SR 997/Krome Avenue and SR 821/HEFT, which are designated emergency evacuation routes. This study has the following goals:

• Implementing safety and operational improvements (including potential roadway widening) throughout the study limits from west of SW 137 Avenue to east of SW 127 Avenue in Miami-Dade County
• Documenting information necessary for the Department to reach a decision on the feasibility, location, and conceptual design that will improve mobility and accessibility

SCHEDULE:
This PD&E Study started in June 2021 and is expected to be completed by November 2023. After the completion of the PD&E phase, the preferred alternative will move to the final design phase, which at this time is scheduled to be completed by late 2024.

FUNDING:
State funding has been allocated by the FDOT for future phases of the project. Preliminary construction costs will be developed during the PD&E phase.
