The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pursuant to 23 U.S.C. § 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated May 26, 2022, and executed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and FDOT. On October 10, 2025, FDOT in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard granted Location and Design Concept Acceptance for the Broad Causeway Bridge Replacement Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study in Miami-Dade County. The proposed improvements consist of a new 65-foot High-Level Fixed Bridge on a southern alignment that replaces the existing Broad Causeway Bridge and bridge approaches. The new bridge includes a 4-lane divided roadway with two, 11-foot lanes in each direction separated by 4-foot inside shoulders and a 2-foot concrete barrier wall. The outside shoulders are 8 feet wide, adjacent to concrete barrier walls. A 14-foot shared-use path along the north side of the new bridge accommodates pedestrians and bicycles with a 1.5-foot barrier wall to safely separate travel lanes and the path. The purpose and need of this project is to address the structural and functional deficiencies of the existing Broad Causeway Bridge.
