Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is seeking to ratify the submission of a grant application and authorize the execution of a grant agreement for the Venetian Causeway Bridge Replacement Project. The project involves replacing 11 bridges built in 1926 with newer infrastructure designed to last 50 years. The total estimated construction cost is $201,094,080, with a federal grant of up to $100,547,040 from the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Bridge Investment Program. A local match of at least $50,273,520 and a Florida Department of Transportation match of up to $50,273,520 are required. The project aims to increase safety and resiliency, maintain aesthetics, and enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The bridges, located on the Venetian Causeway, are deteriorated due to age and marine environment exposure, and do not meet current design standards.
