With the completion of this project the county will have a rapid transit connection to its airports. The MIC is the 23rd Metrorail station and will be a central transport hub in the future. The MIC will be connected to the airport through an automated people mover. The link is scheduled to start its operations in April 2012. The Miami International Airport Link will connect the stations. A new station will also be built at NW 103rd Street.Ĭonstruction of a 2.4-mile Metrorail extension project between Earlington Heights Station and the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) began in May 2009. The terminal at NW 215th will have an interface to Broward county in the future. The extension line will run north from a junction with the existing route at Dr Martin Luther King Jr Metrorail station to NW 215th Street, just south of Florida’s turnpike. It is a double-track, heavy-rail extension of the metrorail system. The North Corridor Extension project includes construction of a new elevated Orange line of 15km (9.2 miles). A $1m grant has also been provided by the US House of Representatives, taken from federal funds to allow construction to take place. This will contribute towards the construction of Metrorail’s North Corridor Extension. Following a public vote, a decision was made for a half-cent sales tax to be introduced to provide funding for public transport improvements.
