UPDATE: July 10, 2025

Crews will be performing horizontal directional drilling (HDD) to install new a sewer main along Miami Road from SE 12th Street to SE 15th Street in Harbordale starting Friday, July 11, and continuing through Sunday, July 13.

Work will take place at the intersections of Miami Road and SE 12th Street and Miami Road and SE 15th Street. Those are the entry and exit points where the pipes are being installed.

Due to the nature of HDD work, this operation must run continuously, 24 hours a day, until it is complete. A noise ordinance exemption has been approved for this work and will not exceed three days.

The following traffic impacts are in effect in Harbordale as part of the current phase of construction:

• Miami Road is open to local traffic only between SE 12th Street and SE 12th Court.
• Miami Road is open to local traffic only between SE 14th Court and SE 15th Street.
• Eastbound SE 12th Street is open to local traffic only between US 1 / S. Federal Highway and SE 9th Avenue.

These roads are expected to reopen in late July when restoration is completed. This schedule is subject to change based on inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Please follow posted signs and drive with caution in the area.

We understand that this is an inconvenience to the community, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete this important infrastructure improvement.
