Swedish Delegation Visits I-395 Signature Bridge and the SunGuide TMC

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six Office hosted a tour for a group of Swedish representatives who were interested in learning more about the District’s major bridge projects as well as the Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) Program in South Florida.

 

The association, known as BROSAMVERKAN, consists of a group of companies, institutions, state, and municipal organizations that build and manage bridge structures in Sweden. The group traveled to Florida to visit several key projects, including the I-395/SR 836/I-95 Design-Build Project that features a signature bridge near downtown Miami. The project is expected to be completed in late 2027. The bridge is slated to be a global landmark for our city for its unique look and design. FDOT representatives gave them an on-site tour of the project and explained construction plans, capacity enhancements, cultural impacts, and lessons learned. The site tour was followed by a visit to the District’s SunGuide Transportation Management Center where they learned how the agency provides traffic operations for the state roadways, including I-395.

 

The tours provided the delegation with a better understanding of FDOT and how it manages major transportation projects in South Florda. FDOT District Six is committed to hosting tours and events that advance the transportation industry both locally and across the globe.
