MIA Perimeter Road detour begins April 3
Traffic permanently re-routed around expanded security perimeter
To further strengthen the security perimeter around Miami International Airport, the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) will permanently re-direct unauthorized traffic at the airport’s Perimeter Road entrance and exit to alternate routes beginning Tuesday, April 3, at 10 a.m.
Eastbound Perimeter Road drivers destined for MIA will be detoured to N.W. 42nd Court, where they can then enter the airport via LeJeune Road (N.W. 42nd Avenue) or via N.W. 20th Street. Drivers exiting the airport via N.W. 20th Street will also be diverted to N.W. 42nd Court, where they can connect to Perimeter Road via N.W. 43rd Place, N.W. 13th Street and N.W. 45th Avenue (see the attached map).
MDAD employee shuttle buses and MIA fuel farm traffic may still access Perimeter Road in both directions via newly installed guard gates.
Miami International Airport, America’s busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers, is receiving an unprecedented investment of $14 billion in capital improvements and maintenance upgrades. MIA offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport and is also the leading economic engine for Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida, generating business revenue of $212 billion and approximately 60 percent of all international visitors to Florida annually.
