I-595 Corridor Improvements > Home

What's new with the project:
On March 3, 2009, FDOT signed a public-private partnership (P3) agreement with I-595 Express, LLC, a consortium created by ACS Infrastructure Development, who will serve as the Concessionaire to design, build, finance, operate and maintain (D/B/F/O/M) the I-595 Corridor Improvements project through the 35-year agreement term.

Current Activities
Design, permitting and field survey activities have commenced. Construction plans for the New River Greenway and select sound barriers are under final development, and construction activities for the Greenway (in the vicinity of the 136th Avenue) were initiated on June 15. Conceptual permits are being modified as necessary and separated into individual construction permits to match the construction sequencing of the project. Topographic surveys and geotechnical investigations are being completed as needed for the project design.

Upcoming Activities
Construction activities for the Greenway (east of 136th Avenue) and select sound barriers are scheduled for Summer 2009. Major construction activities involving roadway and bridge construction are anticipated to commence in Fall 2009 and are scheduled for completion in Spring 2014. Refer to the project schedule for more information.

Prior to the initiation of major construction activities, FDOT will hold a public information meeting to update the community on the status of the project.



 Project Overview

The limits of the project extend from the I-75/Sawgrass Expressway interchange to the I-595/I-95 interchange in central Broward County, Florida, for a total project length of approximately 10.5 miles.  The project consists of the reconstruction, addition of auxiliary lanes and resurfacing of the I-595 mainline (including associated improvements to frontage roads and ramps), and a new reversible express lanes system in the I-595 median.  Highlights of the major improvement components include:

 

  • Tolled reversible ground level express lanes to be known as 595Express, serving express traffic to/from I-75/Sawgrass Expressway from/to east of SR 7, with a direct connection to the median of Florida’s Turnpike.  
  • Geometric improvements to the I-595 / Florida’s Turnpike Interchange.
  • Widening / reconstruction of the Florida’s Turnpike mainline from Griffin Road to Peters Road (2.7 miles) to accommodate the express lanes direct connection.
  • Addition of auxiliary lanes on the eastbound and westbound I-595 and SR 84 roadways.
  • Continuous connection of the SR 84 frontage road between Davie Road and SR 7.
  • Grade separated (braided) entrance and exit ramps.
  • Combined ramps and cross-road bypasses.
  • Construction of the New River Greenways, a component of the Broward County Greenways System.
  • 13 sound barriers providing noise abatement for 21 communities.
  • Implementation of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) / Express Bus Service within the I-595 corridor.
  • Accommodation of a transit envelope within the corridor, currently under development as part of the Central Broward East-West Transit Analysis.
