I-595, from Nob Hill Road to Davie Road

Segment C is about three and a half miles long and extends from Nob Hill Road to Davie Road. Construction Segment C is scheduled to begin in the 1st Quarter of 2010. Highlights from Segment C construction include: bridge widening and braidedA braided ramp is a traffic solution to eliminate weaving in a highway system. It coordinates two sequential ramps, where an entrance ramp passes over or under an exit ramp using an overpass structure.

Weaving is an undesirable situation where traffic entering and exiting the mainline must cross or “weave” paths within a limited distance to get to a desired lane or ramp. ramps, in both eastbound and westbound directions; widening the existing westbound bridge over Nob Hill Road to the north and the south to accommodate three toll lanes and five westbound lanes; widening of the existing eastbound bridge over Nob Hill Road to the south for a new eastbound off-ramp east of the Nob Hill Road intersection; demolition of the existing westbound bridge over Pine Island Road; the construction of a new bridge over Pine Island Road for three toll lanes, four westbound lanes, and two exit ramp lanes to Nob Hill Road and WB SR-84; widening of the eastbound bridge over Pine Island Road to accommodate eastbound I-595 lanes; construction of a new 3-span, single lane bridge over Pine Island Road for a new eastbound bypassA bypass ramp is a single lane bridge that allows traffic exiting the mainline to split from the traditional exit ramp and travel above traffic to exit beyond the intersection.

For example, when construction is completed, motorists who exit eastbound I-595 at Flamingo Road may choose to travel to the intersection, or, “bypass” the intersection and merge with traffic east of the intersection on S.R. 84. ramp; new eastbound braidedA braided ramp is a traffic solution to eliminate weaving in a highway system. It coordinates two sequential ramps, where an entrance ramp passes over or under an exit ramp using an overpass structure.

Weaving is an undesirable situation where traffic entering and exiting the mainline must cross or “weave” paths within a limited distance to get to a desired lane or ramp. ramps west of Pine Island Road; the reconstruction of the University Drive eastbound flyover ramp; replacing the interior piers of the University Drive westbound flyover ramp; construction of a new two lane westbound bypassA bypass ramp is a single lane bridge that allows traffic exiting the mainline to split from the traditional exit ramp and travel above traffic to exit beyond the intersection.

For example, when construction is completed, motorists who exit eastbound I-595 at Flamingo Road may choose to travel to the intersection, or, “bypass” the intersection and merge with traffic east of the intersection on S.R. 84. ramp over University Drive; widening the existing I-595 bridge structure over University Drive; construction of a new bridge for the I-595 eastbound lanes; construction of eastbound braidedA braided ramp is a traffic solution to eliminate weaving in a highway system. It coordinates two sequential ramps, where an entrance ramp passes over or under an exit ramp using an overpass structure.

Weaving is an undesirable situation where traffic entering and exiting the mainline must cross or “weave” paths within a limited distance to get to a desired lane or ramp. ramps west of Davie Road; milling and resurfacing of existing I-595 lanes; and new asphalt pavement for additional lanes. The work will also include some utility relocation, new signaling, lighting and striping.
