New Hollywood/Pines Boulevard SunPass-Only SunPass Only Exit Ramp<br />
New SunPass-only exit<br />
ramp for southbound traffic<br />
headed west on Hollywood/<br />
Pines Boulevard<br />
Hollywood/Pines Blvd.
<strong>Turnpike</strong> Improvements at Hollywood/Pines Boulevard<br />
Project Fact Sheet<br />
Project Description: A new SunPass-only exit ramp is being constructed at the Florida’s<br />
<strong>Turnpike</strong> interchange at Hollywood/Pines Boulevard. The new ramp will<br />
allow southbound traffic headed west to bypass the existing toll plaza.<br />
The asphalt on the <strong>Turnpike</strong> will be milled and replaced north and south<br />
of Hollywood/Pines Boulevard.<br />
The new ramp is part of a larger project that will replace the Golden<br />
Glades toll plaza with an all-electronic tolling gantry and widen the ramp<br />
that connects the northbound/eastbound Homestead Extension to the<br />
northbound <strong>Turnpike</strong> from one to two lanes.<br />
Schedule: Construction began in August 2012 and is scheduled for completion in<br />
late 2014. The new ramp is anticipated to open to traffic by the end of<br />
2013.<br />
Cost and Funding: The total project cost, including the improvements at the Golden Glades<br />
interchange is $19.9 million. As with all <strong>Turnpike</strong> projects, funding is<br />
derived from toll revenues, not taxes.<br />
Project Benefits: The new exit ramp will help reduce congestion by reducing the number<br />
of vehicles at the existing toll plaza. Once it opens, it is projected that an<br />
average of 5,200 vehicles a day will bypass the toll plaza and use the new<br />
ramp.<br />
Construction Impacts: Motorists may encounter periodic nighttime lane closures on the<br />
<strong>Turnpike</strong>, generally between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. The sidewalk on the<br />
north side of Hollywood/Pines Boulevard may be closed temporarily for<br />
several months between Northwest 62nd Avenue and Northwest 64th<br />
Avenue. Northwest 63rd Avenue has been permanently closed at the<br />
intersection with westbound Hollywood/Pines Boulevard.<br />
