Nightly Metrorail Delays and Port Boulevard Construction Impact Miami Commutes

Public Transit Alerts: Metrorail Single-Tracking Tonight

Commuters relying on the Metrorail for their evening journey should prepare for modified service tonight, Tuesday, February 10, 2026. Miami-Dade Transit has scheduled essential preventive maintenance and repair work that will require single-tracking starting at 9:00 p.m. This work affects the corridor between the Vizcaya and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stations.

During this period, northbound and southbound trains will alternate service on a single track. As a result, both Green and Orange Line trains will operate on a 30-minute frequency from 8:00 p.m. until the system closes. Additionally, travelers heading to Miami International Airport after 8:00 p.m. must transfer at the Earlington Heights station to a dedicated Airport Shuttle train. Officials recommend arriving at stations several minutes early to account for these gaps in service.

Major Roadworks and Highway Updates

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) continues to manage several high-impact construction zones across the county's major arteries. Drivers should remain alert for shifting patterns in the following areas:

• Port Boulevard (SR 886): A significant roadway project that began last week on February 4 remains in full swing. Commuters heading toward PortMiami should expect intermittent lane closures and construction equipment near the entrance, particularly during off-peak morning hours.
• I-395/SR 836/I-95 (The Signature Bridge): Construction activities for the $866-million Signature Bridge project are ongoing. While most major lane closures are scheduled for overnight hours, daytime commuters may experience narrowed lanes and reduced speed limits near the Downtown Miami interchange.
• Southbound SW 109 Avenue: Overnight lane closures are expected to continue near the intersection with S.R. 90/U.S. 41 (SW 8 Street) due to ongoing pedestrian safety and bridge replacement infrastructure work.

Surface Street Detours and Station Upgrades

In North Miami-Dade, road construction has forced a new detour for Route 77. Northbound trips are currently being rerouted from NW 7th Avenue between 183rd Street and 185th Drive, with traffic shifted to NW 9th Avenue until further notice. This detour is expected to cause minor delays for local bus commuters in the area.

In South Dade, the $73-million upgrade to the Dadeland South Intermodal Station is entering its final stages following the successful installation of a 57-ton steel canopy yesterday. While the station remains open, passengers should be mindful of ongoing construction activity near the bus rapid transit area and the new surface parking lots as crews work toward a late 2026 completion date.

Commuters are encouraged to use the GO Miami-Dade Transit app for real-time tracking of buses and trains, and to monitor FDOT’s FL511 system for sudden changes in highway conditions throughout the day.
