At Miami's Downtown Development Authority meeting last week the issue was raised whether it was feasible to build a tunnel connecting Brickell and Downtown Miami, according to Miami Today.
A study was looked at in 2006, but since the span of 10 years the growth of Brickell and Downtown Miami has changed drastically bringing heavier traffic. The bridge is consistently open during rush hour times in the morning and evenings, which increases traffic and causes people honking their horns in their cars. Construction and new development in the area is only increasing in the next 3-5 years and traffic will continually get worse.
Study to put a tunnel under the Miami River will take a year.
Construction on Midtown 5
Rising quietly in Midtown Miami is - Midtown 5. The 24 story tower is currently on the 24th floor and in the process of topping out.
The building is a 400 unit rental condo on a 1.58 acre site and is located between Wynwood and the Design District. There will be 22,000 square feet of retail on the ground level.
The project is being developed by Chicago's Magellan Development Group and was designed Loewenberg Architects.
Midtown 5 will be completed by the end of the year.
Riverside Wharf Rendering
In December 2015, Miami Commissioners approved the $30 million Riverside Wharf project along the Miami River, but it was given the green light by voters on Tuesday March 15th.
The deal gives developers Alex Mantecon and Guillermo Vadell, who also developed The East Coast Building, a 30 year lease with the option for two 10 year extensions. They will also pay a minimum $195,000 rent to the city.
We previously took a ride along the Miami Metromover featuring The Brickell Loop. Now take a look at the Omni Loop, which starts in the Arts & Entertainment district and goes through Downtown Miami. The Metomover is a great way to explore and see the city and best of all - it's free!
