What's New in Miami's $840 MILLION Signature Bridge Project! 

Was there any objection to spending that amount of money on a highway , I doubt it but if suggested to spend it on rail projects I expect there would be riots

Amount of people who drive cars /want to > amount of people who want to/ willing to ride trains

It will do absolutely nothing. Forget about being a world city. It's never going to happen in that deadbeat swamp of Miami. The people down there are too ass backwards. If you really wanted to be a great city don't you think your MDT agency would have invested in it's existing transportation infrastructure ie Metrorail, Metromover, etc. ??? Miami is a dump.

False information.

This doesn't help the whole county, but I should probably mention that there has been a very large effort in Miami Lakes over the last year to expand the drainage systems so that puddles from rain don't stay around for very long

It’s easy to talk without ever actually knowing what’s going on. There are drainage projects all around always going on but it’s a slow effort.

Opa locka needs it most, but I think they are working on it there too

It's a colossal waste of money. Improve upon existing infrastructure that is badly needed (Airport, Metrorail, etc.) is what I wanted tax dollars to go towards. Not this garbage.

@@thedirtybubble9613 bro y’all stay crying about transit and trains/ buses, like most people here don’t wanna do that even if we had it, some of y’all can’t get it through your head, most of us don’t wanna get on no train or bus. Lol. If you knew about various areas and knew more than the average person on south Florida traffic as a whole, you’d know this bridge will definitely benefit the people in many different ways. But hate on it 😂😂 it’s more than just a bridge. It’s a lot of stuff they’re doing in that entire project.

I, too was around for the Big Dig, and totally agree with you brotha. That bridge will definitely accentuate that awesome skyline.

It's hideous looking and a waste of money.

That makes too much sense. The state is not invested in making sense anymore. With that kind of money, we could have improved upon MDT's existing metrorail, metromover, metro bus projects. Like updating the metromover stops or even fixing the busted elevators at metrorail stations.

@@thedirtybubble9613 The amount of people who would use the metrorail compared to an additional highway is incredibly low and would see far less return on investment relative to the cost (it was actually estimated to cost *more* than this project). Don't get me wrong, I want rail and other public trasportation options too. But they're mainly only built by enthusiasts and rarely serve a significant portion of the public.

@@evials9123 If they expanded Metrorail to more areas where people live they will come. For a $1.25 fare, sure why not. The county had their chance 20 years ago and blew it.

Says who?

Yes! I’ve got tickets booked for the first day this Friday

@@JoelFrancoVlogs awesome !!!

It will do absolutely nothing to improve traffic.

is time for a new update

You Know how bad the Infrastructure is at the interchange FDOT is making it Better And also FDOT does NOT have any control of what Miami does

@@Jacobthehighwayfan I know. FDOT is a joke. Evidently they are disconnected from Miami's real needs but would rather "pretty up" the city with a stupid bridge. $840 million for something not needed. Do you know what $840 million in tax dollars could have done to improve this state's transportation infrastructure? High speed rail for one. If they wanted to invest so heavily in Miami, the least they could have done was provided grants to the MDT agency so that we can improve our existing transportation system like I said broken elevators, outdated Metromover stops, etc. Investing in an already broken platform ie I-95 is just useless but that's Florida for you. Your tax dollars. My tax dollars. Going to waste.

I guess it's better than your city though...wonder where you live?! 🤔
