Master Plan Update - Florida's Turnpike

toll plaza. This improvement modifies the existing
bridge structures within the project limits by
reducing the inside/outside shoulders to allow for
three, 12-foot travel lanes and four-foot shoulders.
Upon implementation, this project will reduce the
potential for bottlenecks in the existing four-lane
segment between nW 57th avenue and the
miramar toll Plaza. this project is programmed for
construction in fY 2020.

Implement southbound heft exit
ramp Improvements and bird
road Intersection Improvements
in miami-dade county.
This is an efficiency project to implement
improvements to the southbound exit ramp of the
heft/s.r. 821 Interchange at bird road and to
improve the intersection at Bird Road. Specifically,
this project includes the following improvements: (1)
widen the intersection approach of the southbound
exit ramp terminal at bird road to provide three
right-turn lanes and three left-turn lanes at the
intersection; (2) extend the six-lane cross section of
bird road on the west side of the heft between sW
117th court toward sW 122nd avenue as far as
possible to avoid purchasing right-of-way or
widening the canal bridge; (3) extend the
eastbound bird road left-turn storage lane to sW
117th avenue; and (4) relocate the northbound
heft exit ramp bridge over the snapper creek
canal so that it provides a two-lane diverge from
the northbound heft, an extended storage section,
and three left-turn lanes at the sW 117th avenue
intersection approach. these improvements are
consistent with the proposed “ultimate”
interchange configuration for the HEFT in this
location. Implementation of these improvements
will increase capacity and vehicle storage at both
the southbound and northbound exit ramp
terminals. relocation of the northbound exit ramp
bridge will lengthen the distance between the
ramp and the sW 117th avenue/bird road
intersection, providing additional storage length
and reducing the likelihood that the ramp will
back-up onto the northbound heft. this project is
scheduled for construction in fY 2013.

Implement Interchange
northbound ramp
Improvements on the turnpike
mainline at Interstate 4 in
orange county
This is an efficiency project to implement
northbound ramp improvements on the turnpike
Mainline/S.R. 91 at Interstate 4. Specifically, this
project includes the following improvements (1)
widen the northbound turnpike off-ramp from onelane
to two-lanes; (2) widen the northbound side of
the interchange connector road by one additional
lane; (3) widen the on-ramp to Interstate 4
eastbound from one-lane to two-lanes; and (4)
tie-in the Interstate 4 eastbound on-ramp to the
existing pick-up lane just east of the Interchange on
Interstate 4 eastbound. Implementation of this
project will alleviate peak traffic period back-ups
that occur through the interchange and sometimes
spill onto the turnpike mainline. this project is
scheduled for construction in fY 2013.
