LOL, Mad hatter :) , its the Great 76 foot high FLYOVER, southbound on I-95 through the Golden Glades Interchange, also known to alot of the older folks here in Miami as the " Spaghetti Bowl ", I-95, S.R. 826, S.R. 9 ( also known as opa-locka freeway ), S.R. 441, and the Florida Turnpike.
What a Great view of Downtown Miami from the top of that bridge on a beautiful clear day. :cheers:

I second that one Chuck. That is my all time favorite view of the city. In a few years it is going to be even better!

Here's from Aventura -> Miami -> Aventura -

Thanks again Miami Tom, great website !!!, and Go Cranes !!! :cheers:

Beach access flyover ramps: I needed to comment on this. I figured this was the best thread to do it in.

The MacArthur, 826, and pretty much all bridges to Miami beach connect to Collins with flyover ramps. This is very advanced for an oceanside community. You got no idea. In fact, Broward is catching on and I think Hallandale Beach Blvd. just got converted as well.

This really seals the deal (short of mass transit rail) that Miami metro is the real thing when it comes to a metropolitan urban area. Sorry, no pix.

graet pics tom

good pics....keep em comin!

Unfortunately FDOT is planning on tearing down the flyovers. The flyover on 63rd ST will be the first to go.

I believe it's just the old flyovers that don't meet new highway standards that are being torn down, namely the Macarthur and 63rd Street flyovers, which are old, narrow, and dangerous (though I haven't actually heard that they are planning to tear down the Macarthur flyover yet)... I'm disappointed that FDOT decided against replacing the 63rd Street flyover with a newer one like the Hallandale Beach Blvd or William Lehman Causeway flyovers.

Looking north from the older Trump Sonesta - you can see the Lehman merging south -

I was reading a "5th Street Charrette" the other day which was held by residents and businesses in the 5th Street/MacAurther area. Recommendation #1 they had for the area was tear down the flyover. In North Beach, it was the residents and businesses that wanted to keep the flyover but FDOT prefers at grade intersections.

If you are into highways, here is nice pic that I took of the boat that almost took my head off whilst biking on the MacArthur (I-395)...I went home grabbed the camera and came back. My friend submitted the first one to Southern Boating magazine and it got published.

i understand why they would wanna tear down the flyover, that thing is crazy, not safe at all... still kinda cool tho

what i dont understand is why they wouldnt try to rebuild it in someway... i can imagine what traffic is gonna be like without it, i mean, its a nightmare already, imagine wat its going to be now that ull have to add a light for left turns

i remember when that hpnd, wats supposedly a setback for the miami-key west ferry, does any1 no watever hpnd to that, i assume its up and running by now, is it successful?

Roark :) , was'nt that the Police Officer that wrote you a ticket after you took the second picture of the officer and he warned you to stay away when you took the first picture of the boat and your vehicle was blocking traffic, lol !!! :cheers:

lol great pics
