Peak Travel Times
The heaviest traffic during Art Week Miami Beach typically occurs on weekday afternoons with congestion increasing closer to the weekend. Traffic congestion leaving Miami Beach can be exacerbated by traffic or incidents on major thoroughfares outside of the city, including I-395, I-195 and I-95. The Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) ongoing road work and lane reductions near the Biscayne Boulevard off-ramp in downtown Miami is expected to impede westbound traffic leaving Miami Beach along the MacArthur Causeway. A citywide construction moratorium will suspend all non-city construction-related activities within the city’s right of way throughout the week — prohibiting road, sidewalk and lane closures.
To reduce congestion along the Venetian Causeway connecting downtown Miami and Miami Beach, the East Venetian Causeway drawbridge will be on lockdown and will not open to vessels from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 1 through Friday, Dec. 5, and from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7, except for emergency vessels and vessels in distress.
The city plans to implement special event signal timing changes and other traffic management measures, as needed, to help manage congestion along major thoroughfares with an enhanced level of real-time traffic monitoring during Art Week Miami Beach. This will include 17 hours of traffic monitoring, from 7 a.m. to midnight on Monday, Dec. 1 through Saturday, Dec. 6. Beyond those dates, the traffic monitoring services will continue from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Traffic monitors will coordinate with the Miami Beach Police Department (MBPD) to enforce traffic regulations at intersections while keeping motorists informed of delays through digital message signs. The city will proactively communicate with Waze, Google and Inrix to accurately reflect all street closures on their respective mobile platforms in real-time.
In addition, the city will issue traffic text alerts as warranted to notify the public of major roadway incidents. Subscribe to receive traffic text message alerts by texting MBAlert to 888777. City staff will work closely with the FDOT SunGuide Traffic Management Center to program traffic messages on overhead digital message signs along I-95, SR 112/I-195 and SR 836/I-395 regarding any major incidents affecting traffic flow on Miami Beach causeways.
