Interstate 95 Fort Lauderdale to Miami - South


Modifications to the highest flyovers at the 36th Street Interchange lengthened the spans over the I-95 mainline to accommodate expansion of I-95 from six to ten overall lanes. 05/07/06

The 95 Express Lanes now end at the one mile approach to Exit 2D for Interstate 395 east at the Midtown Interchange. 05/07/06

Previous guide signs posted one half mile north of Interstate 395 used dancing arrows for the I-95 pull through panel and simply referenced Airport for the Dolphin Expressway west. These overheads were replaced by 2006. 12/28/03

Initial signage for Exit 3B to NW 8th Street appeared at the Midtown Interchange for the Port of Miami and the Orange Bowl in 2003. Traffic the Port is now directed eastward on I-395 to the August 2014-opened PortMiami Tunnel (SR 887). The Orange Bowl was demolished in 2008 to make way for Marlins Park, the 2012-opened stadium for the Miami Marlins MLB franchise. 12/28/03

Two lanes peel away from I-95 south for SR 836 (Dolphin Expressway) west (Exit 3A). A sign replacement to the left was made to reference the new tunnel between the Interstate 395 east end and the Port of Miami on Dodge Island. 05/16/08

The previous overhead for NW 8th Street (Exit 3B) was relocated to a ground level assembly after 2003, but later removed completely. 05/07/06

Flyovers spread into view as Interstate 95 kinks southeast through the Midtown Interchange. Had it been completed as originally envisioned, Interstate 75 would have reached its southern terminus here at this interchange. 05/16/08

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 The causeway was designated as U.S. 41 until 1999, when the U.S. route was retracted to Downtown Miami at U.S. 1 (intersection of Biscayne Avenue and SE 8th Street). 05/16/08

Signage at the Exit 3B off-ramp to NW 8th Street was amended to green out Orange Bowl when the stadium closed. The Miami Hurricanes now play at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens. 05/16/08

Exit 1B departs from Interstate 95 south at the three wye interchange with the Downtown Distributor. A condominium high rise was constructed along the west side of the viaduct between Flagler and SW 1st Streets (Florida 968) by 2014. 07/05/11

This ground level guide sign for Exit 1A referenced SW 25th Road in place of Rickenbacker Causeway. 12/28/03

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
