MIAMI (WSVN) - Drivers headed to Miami International Airport should expect a big change to their commute.
A new flyover exit ramp on the Dolphin Expressway opened Saturday for travelers.
Officials want drivers to be aware that it will now be on the right going eastbound toward Le Jeune Road — a half-mile before the current one, which is on the left.
“The advantages immediately is that by shifting traffic, or the exit to the right, you open up the friction that’s created today by people entering the expressway, weaving over to the left to try to get to the airport,” said Juan Toledo, who serves as the director of engineering at Miami-Dade Expressway Authority.
The ramp is part of a massive reconstruction project on the Dolphin Expressway.
