Indian Creek Drive Flooding Mitigation Project

Notice Date: March 3, 2023

 


What's Happening

A new seawall is being constructed along Indian Creek Drive between 41 and 29 streets. The contractor commenced construction starting near 41 Street and is working south. 


The work along Indian Creek Drive between 27 and 26 streets has been rescheduled to start in late March. Southbound traffic will remain on Indian Creek Drive and northbound traffic will continue traveling on Collins Avenue. Additional information will be included in future project updates. 


Project work is expected to resume in late March following Spring Break activities.


This schedule may change due to unforeseen conditions or weather. 


Project Overview and Benefits

The City of Miami Beach is surrounded by 55 miles of seawall. Of that space, only 5 miles of seawall is publicly owned. Efforts to raise and replace sections of seawalls are steps toward achieving a more resilient waterfront for our city as a whole. Seawalls at higher elevations will help mitigate the bigger picture effects of tidal flooding and rising sea levels.


Timeline

This project phase is expected to be complete by the spring of 2023. 


Construction work hours are weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Extended time is subject to city approval and community notification. This schedule may change due to weather events or unforeseen circumstances.


What to Expect

This schedule may change due to unforeseen conditions or weather. 

  • Moderate levels of noise are expected during construction.
  • Heavy equipment, machinery and workers will be present on the job site.
  • The work zone is expected to be accessed from the creek and land side of the seawall for these efforts.
