Metrorail Delays and I-95 Roadblocks: Miami Wednesday Commute Guide

Metrorail Service Impacts and Dadeland South Delays

Commuters relying on the Metrorail this morning should prepare for significant scheduling changes. As of Monday, February 23, 2026, the Dadeland South Station has moved to a single-tracking operation to accommodate major platform improvements and canopy installations. This single-track configuration is expected to remain in place for approximately six weeks, causing inevitable delays for both the Green and Orange lines. Passengers are advised to allow for extra travel time and to pay close attention to platform signage, as trains will serve only one side of the station.

Additionally, those heading to Miami International Airport (MIA) should note that the Airport Shuttle is currently in effect. While the Orange Line remains operational, passengers traveling after 8:00 p.m. on weekdays must transfer at the Earlington Heights station to catch the dedicated Airport Shuttle train. During late-night hours, single-tracking will also affect the corridor between the Vizcaya and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stations starting at 9:00 p.m.

Major Highway Obstructions on I-95 and SR 826

For those driving, real-time reports from the Florida Highway Patrol indicate a significant roadblock on I-95 Northbound in North Miami Beach near the Glades area. Emergency responders were dispatched early this morning to clear a disabled vehicle blocking the roadway, and congestion is expected to linger through the morning rush hour.

Further north, motorists utilizing I-95 should be aware of ongoing overnight work. The southbound on-ramp from Wickham Road is scheduled for full closure tonight from 9:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. Additionally, intermittent double-lane closures continue on I-95 Southbound between Eau Gallie Boulevard and U.S. 192 due to paving activities. On the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), drivers should remain cautious of the ramp connecting to Northbound I-75, where lane closures remain in effect as part of a long-term improvement project.

Metrobus Detours and Local Construction

Surface street construction is impacting several major bus routes today. Due to ongoing roadwork on Indian Creek between 41st and 26th Streets, southbound buses for Routes C, L, M, S, 120, and 150 are currently detoured. Temporary stops have been established along Collins Avenue at 40th, 35th, 32nd, 28th, and 26th Streets to maintain service continuity.

• Route 7 is experiencing detours on NW 17th Street between NW 111th and NW 107th Avenues.
• Route 17 northbound trips are being rerouted between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. around NW 28th and NW 30th Streets.
• The Port Boulevard roadway project continues to impact traffic flow near the downtown entrance to PortMiami; drivers are encouraged to use NE 5th Street for access.
