Seth Wasserman The Transportation and Parking Committee met on February 7, 2011 and
were provided with the below update on the Port of Miami Tunnel Project.
It was revealed that the 2 barrier walls, which were built to prevent Hurricane
flood waters from entering the tunnel, are temporary. These walls will be
removed after the completion of the tunnel.
The tunnel entrance will have a gate that is supposed to sealthe- tunnel in case
of a hurricane; there will also be pumps. Presently, the Transportation &
Parking Committee has not been provided with clear drawings of the gate or
back -up generators for the pumps.
It was also stated that engineering plans for the tunnel are around 60%
complete.
Sincerely,
Transportation and Parking Committee
