MIAMI – A major construction project this weekend at the Golden Glades Interchange will impact drivers trying to get onto or exit I-95.
Beginning Friday, at 11 p.m., through 5 a.m. Monday, Jan. 27, all lanes of State Road 826/Palmetto Expressway and Florida’s Turnpike to and from I-95 will be closed around the clock.
The closures will be at the Turnpike Connector ramp, which connects eastbound and westbound Palmetto Expressway and southbound and northbound Florida’s Turnpike with southbound and northbound I-95.
The closure is needed so steel beams can be installed over the connector ramp for a future flyover ramp that will connect eastbound Palmetto Expressway to northbound I-95.
