MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Good news for drivers: three of the biggest bottlenecks on Florida’s Turnpike in Miami-Dade and South Broward are about to be history.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports we’ll have to earn it, though: drivers will have to put up with more than a year of construction until they see real relief.

Starting next week, work begins on installation of an overhead electronic toll gantry at the Golden Glades toll plaza in North Miami-Dade. The $29.9 million project also includes construction of a new off-ramp at the Hollywood interchange and widening to two lanes the ramp from the Homestead Extension in Miramar to the northbound turnpike.

Read the full story in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
