Construction on the Phase 2 of 95 Express began in November 2011. Construction will last approximately three years and cost an estimated $106 million. 95 Express Phase 2 will extend the existing express lanes north from the Golden Glades Interchange, in Miami-Dade County, to Broward Boulevard, in Broward County, by converting the existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to two express lanes in each direction. Other work includes: installing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) components; modifying the Ives Dairy Road interchange; bridge widening at specific locations; and installing new noise walls at locations between Hollywood Boulevard and Taft Street.

UPDATE MAY 2013:  Lane closures may continue on I-95 for project related roadwork.  Up to two travel lanes may be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Friday and Saturday. I-95 entrance and exit ramps are closed as needed and detours are clearly marked.

Workers have created construction zones in the median at various locations to install Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and tolling equipment. This work is performed during daytime hours behind temporary barrier wall and does not affect traffic.

I-95 bridge widening continues at Hollywood Boulevard, Stirling Road and Snake Creek. Lane closures and detours take place as needed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sunday through Thursday night.  Bridge widening at Pembroke Road and Hallandale Beach Boulevard will start later this year.

• 95 Express Lanes are currently in operation in Miami-Dade County from the Golden Glades interchange to downtown Miami.

• Enter the express lanes at one of the designated entry points.  Express lanes are separated from local traffic lanes by a barrier of flexible plastic poles.
   
• Tolls are collected electronically using a SunPass transponder which can be purchased at Publix, CVS Pharmacies or Turnpike service plazas.
   
• Tolls are based on congestion pricing, which means the toll goes up or down depending on how many vehicles enter the lanes at a time.  Toll amounts are displayed on the overhead electronic signs before each of the entrances.
   
• Toll free users of the lanes must register with South Florida Commuter Services.
