Project Overview & Benefits
The City of Miami Beach will begin improvements on two subaqueous water mains that cross the Collins Canal just south of Dade Boulevard between 22 and 23 Streets. Construction is scheduled to commence on Monday, April 13, 2026.
The project involves replacing two inactive yet essential subaqueous water mains with new, larger‑diameter pipelines designed to improve system capacity and support long‑term infrastructure needs. Once completed, the upgraded mains will provide increased flow to meet the city’s growing demand and enhance water distribution throughout the surrounding area.
What's Happening
To complete these improvements efficiently, the contractor will carry out the project in six phases. Prior to the first phase, pre-construction work will include equipment mobilization, material delivery and tree pruning and relocation, to prepare the project site for drilling and excavation activities. This work will begin on Monday, April 13 and take approximately one week to complete.
Work Zones
Throughout the project, crews will alternate between the two pipe locations as outlined below.
-
Work Zone 1: Pipe starts on 23 Street, crosses through the Collins Canal and exits at 2300 Pine Tree Drive.
-
Work Zone 2: Pipe starts on 22 Street, crosses through the Collins Canal and exits in front of Miami Beach Senior High School, located at 2201 Prairie Avenue.
Traffic Impacts: Phase 1
Once all pre‑construction activities are complete, the contractor will transition to Phase 1. The Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan for this phase includes a partial westbound lane closure on 22 Street, just west of Park Ave. Additionally, select parking spaces within the work zone will be temporarily unavailable during this phase.
