Plan each drive separately: identify who manages the road, check that agency’s latest closure notice for your route and travel time, then check Florida 511 shortly before departure for live traffic and incidents. Miami has no single closure list covering every road, and construction schedules can change.
Start with the agency that manages the road
“Miami” can mean roads managed by different agencies. Miami-Dade County administers its roadway projects; the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) handles state roads and many major arterial roads; and construction on most municipal roads is usually administered by the municipality. The county’s roadway construction overview explains this division and links to weekly construction reports.
| Road or project | Where to start | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| FDOT state roads and District Six projects | FDOT District Six Lane Closure Finder and project updates; Florida 511 for current conditions | Check the specific road segment, direction, closure hours, and dates. Live notices can change. |
| Miami-Dade County roadway projects | Miami-Dade Public Works roadway construction page and its linked weekly reports | The county says other departments, FDOT, and municipalities also administer projects. |
| City of Miami capital projects | City of Miami Office of Capital Improvements project pages and notices | This is not a citywide source for Miami-Dade or other municipalities. |
| Other municipal streets | The municipality’s official public works or construction notices | Check the relevant city or town; a City of Miami notice may not cover Miami Beach or Coral Gables. |
Check planned closures for your exact drive
Use FDOT’s Lane Closure Finder for applicable roads
FDOT District Six’s finder lets you search by road, city, county, or project number. Open the relevant project notice and check its precise limits, direction, work days, closure hours, detour, pedestrian access, and any event-day restrictions. A project page may describe phased work, so confirm the phase and dates that overlap your trip.
For example, FDOT’s SR 886/Port Boulevard fact sheet, accessed October 4, 2026, lists a project schedule of March 2026–Fall 2026 and says dates are subject to change. It describes Port Boulevard single- or double-lane closures Tuesday through Thursday, 5 p.m.–5 a.m.; for Biscayne Boulevard, it lists closure windows of 8 p.m.–6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m.–9 a.m. Friday and Saturday. These are the fact sheet’s planned windows, not a guarantee that a specific lane will be closed on a future travel date. Check the latest notice and its weekly lane-closure information before setting out.

Use county and municipal notices for their roads
For county-administered roads, consult Miami-Dade Public Works’ project pages and weekly construction reports. For a local street, look to the municipality responsible for it. The City of Miami says its project teams generally work to maintain business and residential access, but a driveway may be temporarily closed and parking restrictions may be needed. Its Office of Capital Improvements says teams make efforts to coordinate with affected property owners.
Check conditions again near departure
Planned work notices tell you about scheduled closures; they do not replace a check for current traffic and incidents. FDOT’s Traffic Warnings and Updates page links to Florida 511 and other traveler-information resources. Check Florida 511 close to departure, especially if your drive depends on a bridge, a major arterial, or a route through an active work zone.

- Identify road managers. Use the agency map above to determine whether to check FDOT, Miami-Dade County, or a municipality.
- Read the project notice. Match the road limits, direction, dates, hours, detour, and any access or event-day notes to your planned drive.
- Recheck before leaving. Look at the latest agency notice and Florida 511 for current conditions.
- Keep an alternate route available. A navigation app can help you consider alternatives, but follow official detour signs through a work zone.
Allow time for destinations affected by work
Build extra time into drives to the airport, PortMiami, timed reservations, or places where parking and access are constrained. This is a practical buffer, not a measured estimate of delay: the official notices describe changing schedules and site-specific access impacts, not a universal amount of extra travel time.
Near construction, follow posted signs and use caution whether driving, walking, or biking. FDOT District Six’s Port Boulevard fact sheet advises: “For your safety and the safety of others, please use caution when driving, walking or biking around any construction zone.”
