The left two lanes leave I-95 south for Interstate 395 eastbound, which travels on an elevated viaduct past the northern edge of the financial district before ending quickly at Florida A1A (former U.S. 41). Near Bicentennial Park, I-395 becomes Florida A1A northbound, and Florida A1A follows the MacArthur Causeway (which is not Interstate standard) to Miami Beach. The causeway was designated as U.S. 41 until 1999, when the U.S. route was retracted to Downtown Miami at U.S. 1 (intersection of Biscayne Avenue and SE 8th Street). 05/16/08

The original sign placed one half mile ahead of the I-95 ending merge with U.S. 1 south featured a red shield with holes in it. Richard Ray wrote, "When I lived in South Florida in the 1960s and 1970s they used to have flashing (wig-wag) yellow lights there (in the holes). I guess the FDOT got tired of replacing the light bulbs, or they thought no one was paying attention to them anyway. Alabama has similar lights on their approaches to the George Wallace Tunnel on Interstate 10. Traffic has to slow from 55 to 45 mph to get through the tunnel due to a sharp curve on the westbound side. Lots of marks on the Jersey barriers there." 12/27/99

One half mile from the south end of I-95. This sign was replaced in 2016 to show I-95 ends. 04/01/14
