• Upgrading the concrete divider between travel lanes to extend the turn lane at SW 183 Street
• Repairing curb ramps
• Replacing broken sidewalks
• Upgrading driveways to current standards

To complete the work, an estimated six driveways will be rebuilt. Letters are being sent to the affected property owners informing them about their driveway repairs.**There is a portion of the road between Wayne Avenue and south of Banyan Street that will not be repaved, as this pavement was repaved by the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department.
