Aventura Brightline Station & New Office Building

Have you been stuck in traffic lately around the intersection just south of Ives Dairy Road and Dixie Highway? If so, start making changes to your route because it's going to last till October. Brightline is currently constructing new areas of their rail line to bring passengers from their Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach stops to Orlando and beyond. The team is hard at work to continue these exciting expansion plans and the Aventura Station connecting South Florida is in full swing. With expansion comes construction and traffic and West Dixie Highway is closed as part of those plans. Below are the details of road closures that will be affected.

West Dixie Highway in northern Miami-Dade County (Aventura) is closed through October 2022 as Brightline continues work on the Aventura Station Project. That part of West Dixie Highway, south of the Aventura Mall is closed between Northeast 202nd Street and Northeast 195th Street continuing through October of this year. Brightline’s Aventura Station will be located across from the Aventura Mall.

Here are the details to get your commute prepared for the road closures in Miami-Dade County, West Dixie Highway between Northeast 202nd Street and Northeast 195th Street. Construction crews will have a full road closure through October 2022. The detour around the closure is as follows:

• Southbound West Dixie Highway traffic will be directed to travel west on Northeast 206th Street or Northeast 202nd Street and turn south on Northeast 26th Avenue which joins with West Dixie Highway south of Northeast 193rd Street.

• Northbound West Dixie Highway traffic will be directed to continue north on Northeast 26th Avenue and travel east on Northeast 202nd Street to access West Dixie Highway.

Motorists are encouraged to proceed with extra caution through the work zones and adhere to the posted detour signs, speed limits and other signage. Brightline, the only provider of modern, eco-friendly, intercity rail in America, continues investing in advanced safety measures focused on technology, enforcement, engineering and education. The company has invested tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure along the South Florida corridor.

Turnberry Submits Plans For Office Building

Recently plans have been submitted for Two Turnberry, a 14-story office building which will be connected to the Aventura Brightline Station currently under construction. The new project will make it possible to reach Aventura Mall from downtown Miami in around 15 minutes with the new pedestrian bridge connection.

The office project is planned to include space for “Brightline activities,” and a pedestrian bridge across Biscayne Boulevard to the station itself. Access from the Brightline station to The Aventura Mall would be provided via the new bridge and another pedestrian bridge is also planned across West Dixie Highway between the train platforms and the station.

The Brightline station in Aventura has a completion scheduled for Fall 2022.
