If you live in Miami, don’t be surprised that this weekend, there will be road closures and the extension of public transportation hours, due to the Ultra Music Festival, in this city in southern Florida.
To ensure safety over the weekend, some streets around Bayfront Park in Miami will be closed and authorities recommend using public transportation or looking for alternative parking options. All for the development, in the city center, of this electronic music festival, which will also give a lot of work to the local police.
According to local media, since Wednesday night some streets near the venue of the mega-show have been gradually closed, which is expected to be attended by more than 50,000 people.
Roads affected: Car flow on northbound Biscayne Boulevard will be redirected to the southbound lanes on SE 1 Street and return to normal traffic flow on NE 4 Street. Meanwhile, traffic on southbound Biscayne Boulevard will be detoured west on NE 6 Street and directed toward NE 2 Avenue and/or North Miami Avenue.
Road closures in Miami this weekend
Additionally, Biscayne Boulevard will be closed southbound from NE 6th Street this weekend. Access to Port of Miami traffic will remain open along NE 5 Street.
Some official recommended measures to avoid congestion are: Use the Port of Miami Tunnel: accessible from I-395. Plan your route in advance: review available detour options. Consider using public transportation or carpooling to reduce traffic.
Likewise, Miami-Dade Transit announced the extension of the Metrorail and Metromover schedule during the Ultra Music Festival, an event that brings together thousands of people in the city.
According to a statement from the County: Friday and Saturday: Service will run from 5:00 am to 2:00 am the next day. Sunday: Service will run until midnight.
