Miami-Dade County Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins has announced progress on eight major roadway resurfacing projects throughout District 8 — some already completed and others currently under construction.
These projects, spearheaded by the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW), represent a total investment of $3.2 million, secured by
Commissioner Cohen Higgins during the previous county budget cycle.
“These roadways have been overlooked for too long in our community, especially in areas like Redland, where they play a key role in moving the food that feeds our region,” Commissioner Cohen Higgins said. “I fought hard to ensure our residents see real, tangible improvements — not just for their daily commutes, but for our farmers and agricultural businesses that rely on these roads. Investing in safer and smoother roads means supporting our economy, improving accessibility, and making sure South Dade remains a beautiful area to live, work and play.”
Project Status Overview:
Completed:
SW 248th Street from 198th Avenue to 202nd Avenue
SW 296th Street from 209th Avenue to 217th Avenue
SW 202nd Avenue from 296th Street to 304th Street
SW 162nd Avenue from 200nd Street to 216th Street
Substantially completed, pending thermoplastic striping after curing period of asphalt:
SW 216th Street from 187th Avenue to 192nd Avenue
SW 232nd Street from 187th Avenue to 207th Avenue
SW 217th Avenue from 236th Street to 248th Street
SW 217th Avenue from 280th Street to 296th Street
Each project includes milling and resurfacing, ADA ramp upgrades, valve box and manhole adjustments, as well as new pavement markings and signage. These improvements will enhance driving conditions, increase pedestrian accessibility, and promote safety across District 8.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins remains committed to delivering critical infrastructure upgrades and ensuring that South Dade residents benefit from meaningful, visible improvements in their communities
