Completion of Metromover to Miami Beach is expected in 2028 or 2029, according to a presentation yesterday by a Miami-Dade commissioner (photos of the presentation were tweeted by Mark R. Brown.)
That timeframe is similar to an announcement made by Miami-Dade County a few months ago.
In November, the county said that it expected to begin construction on the Metromover expansion to South Beach in 2025, with operations beginning by 2029.
The Metromover expansion to South Beach replaces a previous plan for a monorail on the route.
The project is expected to have a capital cost of $1 billion, with 75% coming from Miami-Dade and the remaining 25% from the Florida Department of Transportation, the presentation said.
The extension to South Beach is known as Baylink.
An expansion of Metromover to Wynwood, Midtown Miami, and the Design District is also in planning.
