About the Project

The SW 10^th Street Connector Project includes improvements along SW 10^th Street from the Sawgrass Expressway/Florida’s Turnpike Interchange to just east of I-95, and on I-95 from south of SW 10^th Street to north of the Hillsboro Boulevard Interchange. SW 10^th Street is an east-west principal arterial that connects three limited access facilities: Florida's Turnpike, Sawgrass Expressway, and I-95. These highways, as well as SW 10^th Street, are part of the state's Strategic Intermodal System (SIS). SIS facilities are those that are critical to statewide mobility and economic development. SW 10^th Street from Florida's Turnpike to I-95 is a missing link in the existing and planned regional express lanes system network. In addition, SW 10^th Street is designated as an evacuation route. Traffic volumes along SW 10^th Street from Florida’s Turnpike/Sawgrass Expressway to SR 9/I-95 have consistently increased over the past 15 years and are projected to continue to grow. During peak times, existing traffic levels exceed the capacity of the roadway, causing delays and safety and operational issues along the corridor.

This project is one of regional significance and has been and will continue to be closely coordinated with adjacent studies along Florida’s Turnpike/Sawgrass Expressway and I-95 to ensure all elements of the three studies are accommodated and each project complements the other.
