Section of SW 8 St. to close while workers position pedestrian bridge

The section of Southwest 8^th Street between 107^th Avenue and 117^th Avenue will be closed starting at 9 p.m. Friday, March 9 until 5 a.m. Monday, March 12, 2018.

The closure will allow crews to move and position a 174-foot section of the FIU-Sweetwater UniversityCity Bridge. The bridge, sidewalks and plazas will connect the City of Sweetwater with the campus.

The pedestrian bridge was built adjacent to Southwest 8^th Street on FIU’s campus.

In order to perform the work safely, traffic will be detoured as follows:

• Westbound traffic will detour via southbound Southwest 107^th Avenue, westbound Southwest 24^th Street (Coral Way) and northbound Southwest 117^th Avenue.
• Eastbound traffic will detour via southbound Southwest 117^th Avenue, eastbound Southwest 24^th Street (Coral Way) and northbound 107^th Avenue.
• To enter campus, the FIU community can use the entrances on Southwest 117^th Avenue and 17^th Street or Southwest 107th Avenue and 16^th Street.

The detours will likely create periodic delays when entering or exiting campus.
