The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study along SR 856/William Lehman Causeway from SR 5/US 1/Biscayne Boulevard to SR A1A/Collins Avenue.
WHAT IS THE PD&E STUDY? The William Lehman Causeway Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study involves the potential modification of SR 856/William Lehman Causeway to support additional non-motorized accommodations such as shared use paths and/or dedicated bicycle/pedestrian facilities. The project includes one bridge that acts as a point of connection between the coastal communities of Golden Beach and Sunny Isles Beach and the mainland city of Aventura. The specific limits of this project extend from SR 5/US-1 to SR A1A/Collins Avenue in Miami-Dade County, Florida, for approximately 1.7 miles. The PD&E Study will further explore options from prior feasibility studies, including both north and south alignments, as well as potentially develop additional feasible alternatives which satisfy the project's purpose and need. The primary purpose is to accommodate pedestrian and bicycle activity along the SR 856/William Lehman Causeway limited access corridor. Other goals of the project are improving connectivity and safety.
