The I-595 Express Corridor Improvements Project consists of the reconstruction of the I-595 mainline and all associated improvements to frontage roads and ramps from the I-75/Sawgrass Expressway interchange to the I-595/I-95 interchange , for a total length along I-595 of approximately 10.5 miles, and approximately 2.5 miles on Florida’s Turnpike from Peters Road to Griffin Road. The design and construction cost of the project is approximately $1.2 billion. The major project components include:

• Three ground level reversible express toll lanes, serving express traffic to/from the I-75/ Sawgrass Expressway from/to east of S.R. 7, with a direct connection to the median of Florida’s Turnpike. These lanes will be operated as managed lanes with variable tolls to optimize traffic flow, and will reverse direction during peak travel times (eastbound in the a.m. /westbound in the p.m.).  
• Continuous connection of S.R. 84 frontage road between Davie Road and S.R. 7. 
• The addition of auxiliary lanes on I-595 along with combined ramps, cross-road bypasses, and grade-separated entrance and exit ramps to minimize merge, diverge and weaving movements.  
• Widening / reconstruction of 2.5 miles of the Florida’s Turnpike mainline and improvements to the I-595/Florida's Turnpike interchange. 
• Construction of theNew River Greenway, a component of the Broward County Greenway System. 
• 13 sound barriers providing noise abatement for 20 communities. 
• Implementation of an Express Bus Service within the corridor. 

Below is a cross section view of the roadway which will be typical of the corridor after the construction is completed.
