State Road 826(SR 826) is abypass routearound the greaterMiamiarea, traveling approximately 30 miles (48 km) in a northeasterly arc fromU.S. Route 1(US 1) inPinecrestto its terminus atState Road A1AinSunny Isles Beach.Between its southern terminus and theGolden Glades Interchange,State Road 826 is known as thePalmetto Expressway,a heavily traveled freeway with portions of the road carrying in excess of 250,000vehicles a day.[2]Unlike many of the other non-interstate freeways inMiami-Dade County,the Palmetto Expressway is untolled.[5][6]East of the interchange, State Road 826 is a surface road connectingNorth MiamiandNorth Miami Beachto Sunny Isles Beach over theIntracoastal Waterway.[7]

A series of state-maintained frontage roads flank the freeway portion between Northwest 17th Avenue on the east, and Ludlam Road (westbound) and Miami Lakes Drive (eastbound) on the west. They carry the hidden designation ofState Road 826F.[8]

Route description[edit]

Palmetto Expressway[edit]

The Palmetto Expressway northbound nearHialeahin metropolitan Miami

SR 826 is signed east–west north of Miami, west of Miami it is signed north–south.

State Road 826 begins at aninterchangewith US 1 in Pinecrest, just south of theDadeland Mall,and heads north as the Palmetto Expressway intoKendall.The first interchange, less than a mile (1.6 km) north of US 1, is withKendall Drive(SR 94), which provides access to the mall. SR 826 continues north, crossing under theSnapper Creek Expressway(SR 878) without an interchange before meetingSunset Drive(SR 986) at adiamond interchange.It then leaves Kendall, continuing intoGlenvar Heightswith an interchange with Southwest 56th Street/Miller Drive, which provides access to theUniversity of Miami.About half a mile (0.8 km) later, theDon Shula Expressway(SR 874) merges with the Palmetto Expressway at its northern terminus, with a southbound exit and a northbound entrance point. Between this interchange and the next (atBird Road/SR 976), SR 826 forms the border between Glenvar Heights andOlympia Heights;past it, the expressway marks the boundary betweenWestchesterandCoral Terrace.[9]After an exit with Southwest 24th Street/Coral Way,the expressway meets theTamiami Trail(US 41), providing access toFlorida International University.This interchange also marks the Tamiami Trail's entrance into incorporated Miami, the boundary of which lies on the eastern side of the expressway.[10]

North of the Tamiami Trail interchange, the Palmetto Expressway forms the eastern boundary ofFontainebleauas it continues north to an exit withFlagler Street(SR 968), the north–southbaselinefor Miami-Dade County roads. The freeway then has an interchange with theDolphin Expressway(SR 836) just south ofDoral,creating access toMiami International Airport.This interchange is currently being improved due to the current configuration causing severe congestion.[11]Now forming Doral's eastern boundary,[10]SR 826 continues north to Northwest 25th Street, which connects to the western end of the airport, followed by an exit withDoral Boulevard(SR 948) that links to theDoral Golf Resort & Spa,and then an exit with Northwest 58th Street. After a brief crossing through unincorporated Miami-Dade County, the expressway reaches an interchange with theHialeah Expressway(SR 934) inMedleyadjacent to thePalmettoMetrorailstation, followed by a diagonal interchange withUS 27at the southern end ofHialeah GardensandHialeah.[12]It then enters Hialeah proper just after an interchange withNorthwest 103rd Street(SR 932),[13]which allows access to theWestland Mall.An exit with Northwest 122nd Street then follows.

Palmetto Expressway northbound approaching the I-75/SR 924 interchange nearHialeahandMiami Lakes

At the boundary between Hialeah andMiami Lakes,SR 826 reaches an interchange with the national southern terminus ofInterstate 75(I-75) and the western termini of theGratigny Parkway(SR 924) andSR 916.The Palmetto Expressway goes into Miami Lakes, interchanges with Northwest 154 Street, then turns through 90 degrees to the east at a point known as "The Big Curve".[14]The road then proceeds straight east, forming the boundary between Miami Lakes andCountry Club,[15]soon interchanging with Northwest 67th Avenue. At the next exit,Red Road(SR 823), the expressway forms the boundary between an unincorporated section of Miami-Dade County andMiami Gardens,with the expressway entering the city proper at the next exit, Northwest 47th Avenue. The expressway then passes to the north ofFlorida Memorial Universitybefore the Northwest 37th Avenue exit, where it creates the northern border ofSt. Thomas University's campus. Still in Miami Gardens, SR 826 then has exits withNorthwest 27th Avenue(SR 817), Northwest 17th Avenue and Northwest 12th Avenue before reaching theGolden Glades Interchange.

SR 826 takes a convoluted path through the Golden Glades Interchange. It first meets the connector ramps betweenFlorida's TurnpikeandInterstate 95(I-95), allowing access from northbound SR 826 to I-95 southbound as well asUS 441/SR 9southbound, and from the Turnpike southbound and I-95 northbound to southbound SR 826. After turning to the northeast, SR 826 moves off its mainline at the next exit onto the mainline of the Turnpike which passes over it; SR 826's former mainline, meanwhile, continues on as an at-grade extension of Northwest 7th Avenue to US 441 northbound. Traffic moving from eastbound SR 826 to the northbound Turnpike must pass through an unsignalised intersection here.[2]Headed back southeast, SR 826 first crosses over the formerSeaboard Coast Linerailroad, begins to form the northern boundary ofGolden Glades,[16]then passes under the I-95's express lanes, meeting the onramp between I-95 southbound and the Turnpike northbound, and the onramp between southbound US 441 and eastbound SR 826. It then passes over Interstate 95 proper, which lies between the southbound and northbound carriageways of US 441, as it swings back to the northeast and then to the east once more. Here it meets its last three ramps, one which allows access from US 441 and I-95 northbound to eastbound SR 826, another from westbound SR 826 to US 441 and I-95 southbound, and from westbound SR 826 to northbound US 441. SR 826 resumes its east–west orientation once more at a signalised intersection with Northwest 2nd Avenue, marking the end of SR 826's expressway.[3][7][17][18]

Non-expressway section[edit]

Northeast 163rd Street inNorth Miami Beachis also denoted as State Road 826.

State Road 826 heads east from the Golden Glades Interchange as Northwest 167th Street, a six-laned surface road, along the boundary between Golden Glades andNorth Miami Beach.[19]Through here, the road is also known as North Miami Beach Boulevard, lined with shops, offices, hotels and other commercial services. Two blocks after leaving the interchange, the road crosses NorthMiami Avenue,the longitudinalbaselinefor Miami-Dade County; thus, the road becomes Northeast 167th Street once it passes this point. Approximately 0.75 miles (1.21 km) later, SR 826 intersects withNortheast 6th Avenue(SR 915). Two blocks later, at Northeast 8th Avenue, North Miami Beach Boulevard starts to swing to the southeast, leaving Northeast 167th Street's orientation, reaching Northeast 163rd street approximately 0.6 miles (0.97 km) later at Northeast 12th Avenue, and taking its eastbound orientation. It immediately passes theMall at 163rd Streeton its left, continuing on as a shopping strip for another 1.25 miles (2.01 km) where it meets the northern terminus ofSR 909at the West Dixie Highway. One block later, after crossing theFlorida East Coast Railwaytracks, SR 826 meetsUS 1once more at Biscayne Boulevard.

To the east of US 1, SR 826's character changes as it passes throughmangrovesand crosses theOleta River,having expanded to eight lanes. With North Miami Beach lying to the north andNorth Miamito the south of the road,[20]SR 826 passes between more mangroves to its south and more businesses to the north as it approaches theIntracoastal Waterway.Here, the road splits into separate eastbound and westbound streets before it crosses the Waterway over a drawbridge in each direction,[21]and entersSunny Isles Beach.Apartment buildings line the outside of the two road-halves, with some commercial services in the middle, as it continues on for another 0.36 miles (0.58 km) to SR 826's northern terminus atCollins Avenue(SR A1A), one block shy of the Atlantic Ocean. Aflyoverallows traffic on northbound SR A1A to move onto westbound SR 826 without having to stop twice for eastbound SR 826 traffic and to cross SR A1A.[3][17][18][20]

The traffic volume along SR 826's entire length is measured by the Florida Department of Transportation.[2][3]The busiest sections of SR 826 are in the vicinity of theMiami International Airportand the nearby industrial area to its west, with over 200,000daily vehicle movementscounted between theDolphin Expresswayat Fontainebleau and the Northwest 122nd Street / West 68th Street exit inHialeah,peaking in the vicinity ofSR 934inMedleywith over 250,000 vehicle movements each day.[2]

Traffic volumes decrease to the south of the Dolphin Expressway, particularly south of theDon Shula Expresswaymerge; however, unlike the rest of SR 826 (including its surface road portion), much of its peak traffic flow is uni-directional. Indeed, at the Palmetto Expressway's southern end, betweenUS 1andKendall Drive,traffic moves almost exclusively in the peak direction.[2]

Northwards, traffic volumes decrease after the interchange withI-75and theGratigny Parkway,with a reported drop of approximately 60,000 daily vehicle movements north of the interchange. As the Palmetto Expressway rounds the Big Curve and heads eastwards, the traffic volume steadily increases to a maximum of 164,000 daily vehicle movements just prior to theGolden Glades Interchangeas it collects traffic from the north–south routes in the Miami Gardens area.[2]

East of the interchange, where SR 826 becomes a surface road, the traffic volumes are more than halved in comparison to SR 826's expressway sections, with a recorded figure of 64,500 daily vehicle movements. This figure steadily decreases eastwards along SR 826, with only 46,000 daily vehicle movements recorded near its eastern terminus withSR A1Ain Sunny Isles Beach.[3]

History[edit]

The Palmetto Expressway southbound at theSR 948interchange nearDoral

State Road 826's designation originally applied to a two-lane road (Golden Glades Drive, Northwest 167th Street)[22]connectingUS 27toUS 441in the vicinity of the Golden Glades Interchange.[23]

In 1956, plans were unveiled for several expressways throughoutDade County.The routes proposed were a North-South Expressway (now part ofI-95), an East-West Expressway (now theDolphin Expressway), a 36th Street Expressway (now theAirport Expressway), the Biscayne Bay Malecon (a proposed bridge from Brickell to Elliot Key and North Key Largo, never built), a Dixie Expressway (proposed; most was never built, a portion becameI-95), and the Palmetto Road Expressway.[24]In 1957, Dade County Commissioner Ralph Fossey proposed an alternative alignment of the Palmetto Expressway. The new alignment would begin at Miller Road (Southwest 56th Street) and then turn southwesterly to follow theSeaboard Coast Linerailroad tracks for about 10 miles (16 km). The route would then turn south at Southwest 117th Avenue and follow it into US 1.[25]While the alternate route plan ultimately failed, eventually theDon Shula Expressway,a northeast–southwest expressway, was built along the railroad tracks in the 1970s.[26]

In 1958, theState Road Departmentstarted construction on the bypass expressway under their authority.[27]A north–south section along West 77th Avenue (Palmetto Road) was built to connect US 1 in Pinecrest to an improved Golden Glades Drive (complete with 90 degree eastward turn) and the portion of Northwest 167th Street west of the curve would be abandoned. Many land owners were forced to sell their property to the county to make way for the construction of the expressway.[28]The Palmetto Expressway was opened in June 1961 at the cost of $30 million, four years after the opening ofFlorida's Turnpikeand six months before the opening ofDade County'ssecond expressway, theAirport Expressway(SR 112).[29][30]

The completion of the Palmetto Expressway (the "Bypass" faded from public usage in the 1960s) and the building of Interstate 95 were the impetus of the construction of the massiveGolden Glades Interchangeinvolving Florida's Turnpike,US 441,Interstate 95, andSR 9.[22]

When the Palmetto Expressway was first opened, it went through tracts of woodland and farmland which have since been urbanized. Originally there were four at-grade intersections in Hialeah and Miami Lakes which were either transformed into full interchanges or blocked off in the 1970s. In addition, increasing traffic loads on the Palmetto prompted plans for extending Florida's Turnpike to "bypass the bypass." In 1974, theHomestead Extension of Florida's Turnpikewas opened to traffic four miles (6.4 km) to the west of the Palmetto to reduce the traffic demands on Miami's original bypass.[31]

TheDolphin-Palmetto Interchangein 2014 with the main flyover ramps just being completed.

The Florida Department of Transportation recently completed a project on a 16.7-mile-long (26.9 km) section of the Palmetto Expressway from the southern terminus to just north of the Northwest 154th Street interchange, widening the highway by two lanes (from eight lanes to ten and ten lanes to twelve) and improving the interchanges. Reconstruction of the Miller Drive,Bird RoadandDon Shula Expresswayinterchanges began in 2008, and was completed around 2012. TheDolphin-Palmetto Interchangeconstruction began on November 30, 2009, and was completed in late 2016.[11][32]

The Florida Department of Transportation is in the process of addingexpress laneson the Palmetto Expressway[33]between West Flagler Street and Northwest 154th Street, which will connect with new express lanes on Interstate 75. This will result in four regular and two express lanes,[34]similar to 95 express. These express lanes were completed in 2019.
