Miami, Florida A reconstructed five-level interchange upgrades a vital link connecting two of the most traveled corridors in South Florida. The project team overcame constraints of a highly urbanized corridor that included three active rail lines, which limited the interchange's horizontal footprint, in addition to its proximity to Miami International Airport, which restricted project elevation. Reconstruction of the interchange included 49 new bridge structures and the relocation of a major drainage canal-all achieved with minimal disruption to traffic. 24 ENGINEERING INC. MAY / JUNE 2017
