Collins Canal Water Main Improvements

To complete these improvements efficiently, the contractor will carry out the project in six phases. Pre-construction work will include equipment mobilization, material delivery, and tree pruning and relocation to prepare the project site for drilling and excavation activities.

Throughout the project, crews will alternate between the two pipe locations as construction activities progress. The locations of both pipelines, which serve as the two work zones, are outlined below.

• Work Zone 1: Pipe starts on 23 Street, crosses through the Collins Canal, and exits at 2300 Pine Tree Drive.

• Work Zone 2: Pipe starts on 22 Street, crosses through the Collins Canal, and exits in front of Miami Beach Senior High School, located at 2201 Prairie Avenue.

Work Zone 1
Traffic management measures for this phase will include:

• A partial westbound lane closure on 23 Street, starting just west of Collins and ending before the gas station entrance. Please know that access to the Valero gas station will be maintained at all times.
• Temporary closure of select parking spaces within the active work zone.

Work Zone 2
Traffic management measures for this phase will include:

• A partial westbound lane closure on 22 Street, just west of Park Ave.
• Temporary closure of select parking spaces within the active work zone.

Road users are urged to exercise caution and comply with all posted signage. Please note that up to 14 parking spaces within the project limits will be intermittently unavailable during the construction period.

Construction for this project began end of April 2026. Please know that this project is expected to take approximately four months to complete, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Stakeholders can expect:

• Moderate levels of construction noise are expected during the day.
• Partial sidewalk closures throughout the construction zone will be in place. Please follow all posted signage.
• Select parking spaces adjacent to each work zone will be temporarily unavailable.
• Machinery and workers will be present on the job site. Residents and visitors are advised to use caution when crews are present and to follow all posted signage.
