Get A Live Bird’s Eye View of Four Key South Beach Intersections
— Especially for those Traveling Westbound on the MacArthur Causeway —
Miami Beach, FL – With the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) East Bridge
Rehabilitation Project well underway along the MacArthur Causeway, Miami Beach has been
experiencing intermittent heavy congestion on feeder roads. The City has been working closely
with FDOT on measures to mitigate traffic congestion, including strategic signal timing,
consistent messaging and police enforcement at intersections as needed.
Now, the City is taking it a step further by giving both residents and visitors an inside, real-time
look at traffic along these affected roads.
“Although this is a State construction project, our City is doing all we can to minimize its traffic
impact,” noted Mayor Dan Gelber. “We are giving individuals access to four of our live traffic
cameras in hopes of further alleviating traffic, as we all patiently get through this construction
together.”
The cameras at Washington Avenue and 5th Street, 700 Block of Alton Road, 5th Street and
Alton Road and the MacArthur Causeway east bridge will be easily accessible to interested
parties on the city’s homepage or by clicking here.
Visitors coming onto Miami Beach during Labor Day Weekend are encouraged to take the Julia
Tuttle Causeway to enter the city. To receive the latest traffic updates, residents and visitors are
also encouraged to text MBTraffic to 888777.
