U.S. 1 “The Stretch” Traffic Update
The northbound lane of U.S. 1 will be closed between Mile Marker (MM)
106 and MM 108 from 8 p.m.-5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 3 and Thursday, April 5. These lane closures are necessary so crews can work on the Jewfish Creek Bridge.
While one lane of U.S. 1 is closed, northbound and southbound traffic will use the other lane alternately, and a flagger will direct traffic through the work zone. Motorists might experience delays of up to 10 minutes during the closures, and can use Card Sound Road as an alternate route, but must pay the standard toll.
Watch for truck traffic and shoulder work throughout the construction zone. The speed limit is 35 mph from MM 106 to MM 108 and 45 mph from approximately Mile Marker (MM) 108 to MM 116.
For more information, please contact Patti Jones, public information officer, at (305) 481-1186.

One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction throughout the project. To make drainage improvements in the area, the contractor has extended the lane closure along South Roosevelt Boulevard from the Riviera Canal Bridge up to the intersection of US-1.
