NW 47 Avenue Resurfacing Project to Begin This Month in Opa-locka, Featuring New Pavement and ADA Upgrades

NW 47 Avenue resurfacing project to begin this month in Opa-locka

Opa-locka residents and motorists will see significant roadway improvements starting this month on NW 47 Avenue. The project, spanning from NW 133 Street to NW 135 Street, includes milling, resurfacing, and critical ADA upgrades.

This initiative directly impacts daily commutes and neighborhood access for those living and traveling through Districts 2 and 13. The upgrades aim to provide smoother roads, enhanced safety features, and improved accessibility for pedestrians.

Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2026, with an anticipated completion by October 2026. Work will involve grinding down existing pavement and laying new asphalt, adjusting valve boxes and manholes to the new road grade, and implementing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements. New pavement markings and signage will also be part of the project to clearly delineate lanes and provide necessary guidance for drivers.

The Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) is overseeing this project, identified as Project No. 20240290, Work Order #14. This type of infrastructure maintenance is a regular part of the county's efforts to maintain and improve local roadways.

Motorists should exercise caution when traveling through the construction zone and plan for potential delays. Weather conditions may affect the construction schedule. For questions or concerns regarding the project, residents can contact the Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works directly at 305-375-2810 or via email at [email protected].
