A scheduled implosion for the Deauville Hotel tower at 6701 Collins Avenue will take place on Sunday, November 13 at 8 a.m.

Miami Beach Police and Fire will be in the area coordinating traffic and assisting in the implementation of an Exclusion Zone between Collins Avenue and Harding Avenue from 65 - 70 streets. At 7:30 a.m., traffic on Collins Avenue will be closed at 65 Street and diverted to Indian Creek Drive. Following the implosion and “all clear,” the demolition contractor will immediately begin to clean dust along Collins Avenue and the roadway is expected to reopen by 10 a.m.

The contractor has received all proper permits, including a city building permit, FDOT road closure permit, demolition permit and Miami-Dade County Blast Permit in order to allow explosives to be brought to the site. The structural modification permit also had its approved final inspection prior to the issuance of the demolition permit. 

There will be heavy dust in the block immediately surrounding the demolition site. If you have any respiratory conditions that would be aggravated by dust, please stay indoors during the demolition. The dust is expected to dissipate within 4 to 6 minutes following the "all clear".
