SR-9/I-95 PD&E Study
FDOT to host Public Hearing for SR-9/ I-95 Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study from Miami-Dade/Broward County Line to north of Griffin Road
Broward County – The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is hosting a Public Hearing regarding the SR-9/I-95 PD&E Study from Miami-Dade/Broward County Line to north of Griffin Road in Broward County (Financial Project Identification Number: 439170-1-22-02). A PD&E Study is FDOT’s process to evaluate the social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with a planned transportation improvement project. The purpose of this study is to improve traffic operations at the existing interchanges, cross streets, and managed lanes, address existing and future traffic demand, and enhance safety along I-95 from the Miami-Dade/Broward County Line to north of S.R. 818/ Griffin Road in Broward County, Florida. The I-95 mainline and interchange alternatives being considered will provide operational and safety improvements at interchange ramps and intersections, and accommodate planned development growth. The project will also improve freight access between major hubs and the regional highway network.
The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by FDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. § 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated May 26, 2022, and executed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and FDOT.
