Condemning Authority - State of Florida

The following information was taken from the I-595 Project Information Website.  Additional information regarding the project can be found at: http://www.i-595.com/default.aspx

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 adjacent cross-roads, frontage roads and ramps), and a new reversible express lanes system in the I-595 median.  Highlights of the major improvement components include:

  • Reversible at-grade express lanes, 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 for 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, and a continuous  roadway connection (collector-distributor system) between SR 7 and I-95.
  • Grade separated (braided) interchange ramps.
  • Incorporation of the Broward County Greenways project within the I-595 project limits.
  • Combined ramps and cross-road bypasses.
  • Accommodation of a transit envelope within the corridor, currently under development as part of the Central Broward East-West Transit Analysis.
  • The Florida Department of Transportation is currently working on the Preliminary Design and Engineering (PD&E) Study.  They currently have no funding for property acquisition or construction at this time.
