Traffic Alert: Weekend Closures On SR 826

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Palmetto expressway drivers take note: on Friday and Saturday nights, from Northwest 25th Street to 36th Street, north and southbound lanes will be closed for construction.

The SR 826 will be closed northbound and southbound from Northwest 25th Street to 36th Street from 10 p.m. until 8 a.m. both nights.

The closures, according to the Florida Department of Transportation, are necessary to allow the contractor to erect support beams over the entire SR 826 at NW 25 Street.

The project was put in place to create a new ramp for cargo trucks to use in hopes of alleviating the always-gridlocked Northwest 25th Street.

Drivers are encouraged to call 511 before driving or log on to www.fl511.com to access real-time traffic and lane closure information. Also, more information can be found at www.826-836.com.
