17 STREET CONCRETE REPAIRS AND ASPHALT RESURFACING (AL TON ROAD TO WASHINGTON AVENUE)
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC) is to provide an update on upcoming concrete repairs and asphalt resurfacing work scheduled along 17 Street between Alton Road and Washington Avenue.
As a globally recognized destination and host to major events, Miami Beach continues to invest in the quality and appearance of its public infrastructure. This corridor serves as a primary route for
both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, supporting daily movement for residents, businesses, and
visitors throughout the City. Given its high level of use and visibility, ongoing maintenance and resurfacing are necessary to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient conditions. With major international
events, including the upcoming FIFA World Cup, it is important that this highly visible corridor
reflects the City's standards for safety, accessibility, and overall presentation. This work is in response to the direction provided by City Commission in Resolution 2026-34167, which was
approved at the March 18th, 2026 City Commission meeting.
Beginning Monday, April 6, 2026, the City will initiate improvements to sidewalks, roadways, curbs, and gutters along this corridor. These enhancements are part of the City's ongoing commitment to
maintaining safe, functional, and aesthetically appealing public spaces that support both daily use
and large-scale events.
Project Overview
The work will be completed in phases, beginning with concrete repairs followed by asphalt
resurfacing.
Phase 1 will focus on repairing damaged concrete to improve mobility, ADA compliance, and
pedestrian accessibility. Work will begin on the south side of 17 Street at Alton Road and proceed east toward Washington Avenue, block by block. Once completed, crews will shift to the north side
of 17 Street, beginning at Washington Avenue and working west toward Alton Road.
Phase 2 will consist of asphalt resurfacing and roadway striping, which will be completed in rolling sections following the concrete work.
Construction activities are expected to last approximately two months, with each block requiring roughly two to three days for concrete work. Milling and resurfacing operations are expected to
begin in subsequent sections starting April 20. Work hours will generally occur between 7:30 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with any extended work hours subject to City approval and community notification.
