Miami, FL – Drivers across Miami-Dade County should plan for major traffic disruptions Wednesday afternoon and evening as intermittent and extended road closures impact the Venetian Islands and several surrounding highways, including I-95 and State Road 112.
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, multiple closures are scheduled throughout the day Wednesday, January 28, affecting both local roads and key commuter corridors during peak travel hours.
The first closure begins around 2:00 p.m. and is expected to last until approximately 8:00 p.m., with a hard closure at Venetian Way and West San Marino Drive, limiting access to and from the Venetian Islands.
Additional closures will follow later in the afternoon. From 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., State Road 112 eastbound will be fully shut down. During the early evening commute, between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., authorities say a portion of Interstate 95 northbound, stretching from Downtown Miami to State Road 112, will be closed. At the same time, State Road 112 westbound will also be shut down.
Officials warn that these closures are likely to cause significant congestion across Miami, including Downtown, Biscayne Bay crossings, and surrounding neighborhoods, especially for drivers traveling during rush hour.
Motorists are strongly encouraged to plan ahead, use alternate routes, allow extra travel time, and consider avoiding the affected areas during the closure windows if possible.
Drivers traveling through Miami-Dade County can expect delays to ripple across nearby roadways throughout the afternoon and evening.
