10 Miami Road Construction Projects to Avoid This Week

Traffic construction had long been a primary source of Miami migraines. And, with the wear and tear of millions of daily drivers, at least a handful of Miami-Dade County's 5,500 miles of public roads are likely to be under repair, repaving, or total reconstruction at any given time.

But don't be daunted by the orange signs and constricted thoroughfares, New Times has assembled a list of 10 Miami-Dade construction projects likely to cause headaches this week.

County officials advise motorists to find alternative routes for each of the following construction sites, largely for resurfacing, signage installation, and construction of ADA ramps and crossings.
