LTC 352-2009 FDOT Julia Tuttle Causeway Roadway Enhancement Projectm MIAMIBEACH r.. r.- OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER ~ ~ ~ ~~ NO. LTC # 352-2009 IETTE~9 T~ C~OH~N11~~510N CIT'~ CLLF~t~"S G~= F ICS TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager ~ DATE: December 16, 2009 SUBJECT: FDOT Julia Tuttle Causeway Roadway Enhancement Project The purpose of this Letter to Commission (LTC) is to inform you that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will be performing a full closure of the westbound lanes along the Julia Tuttle Causeway on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 during the night time only from 9:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Westbound traffic will reopen to motorists after 5:30 a.m. This closure is part of FDOT's Julia Tuttle Causeway Roadway Enhancement Project and is necessary to finalize the installation of overhead guide signs along the causeway, which were initially installed on November 18, 2009. The detour established for this closure will direct motorists on Alton Road to the I-395/MacArthur Causeway, then west to Biscayne Boulevard, and then north to the Julia Tuttle Causeway where they will be able to access westbound lanes west of I-95. Emergency vehicles will be allowed access on the Julia Tuttle Causeway westbound lanes during the closure. FDOT has coordinated this closure and detour with the FDOT project managers for both the MacArthur Causeway Roadway Enhancement Project and the I-95 Express Project. The Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan, which takes into account the scheduled detours, will include the utilization of electronic message boards that will notify the public about the detour. City staff will continue to coordinate the MOT with FDOT to ensure minimal impact to traffic in Miami Beach and to ensure the public is kept thoroughly informed. A traffic advisory on the upcoming closure has also been placed on the City's website. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
