~ I Segmental Improvement Area 1 • Realigns Krome avenue intersections • Provides additional capacity at the intersection • Intersection improvements to allow adequate area for turning radius of large trucks

~ I I I ! I Segmental Improvement Area 2 • Provides a right-out only at Frontage Road to provide space for adequate acceleration and deceleration lanes • Intersection improvements to allow adequate area for turning radius of large trucks

I~ ,I, II.I Segmental Improvement Area 3 • Closure of the NW 127 Avenue Access to Okeechobee Road and provision of a new access point at NW 129 Avenue to provide space for adequate acceleration and deceleration lanes • Additional SB to EB left turn lane at the NW 154 Street intersection • Intersection improvements to allow adequate area for turning radius of large trucks

I l I I I I Segmental Improvement Area 4 • Intersection improvements to allow adequate area for turning radius of large trucks • In addition to improvements proposed as part of HEFT and the Gratigny West PD&E Studies, provides addition EB left to NB HEFT

1~ ;1~1 ,1. Segmental Improvement Area 5 • Intersection improvements to provide additional intersection capacity and allow adequate area for turning radius of large trucks • NW 107 Avenue bridge widening to accommodate additional turning movements and provision of three WB turbo lanes

~ I I I ~ I Segmental Improvement Area 6 • Elevates the Okeechobee Road mainline over NW 116 Way and provides a diamond type configuration with the Frontage Road and NW South River Drive • Provides flyover bridge from SB NW 116 Way to EB Okeechobee Road • Provides improvements to the NW 121 Way intersection and widening of the bridge over the Miami Canal to accommodate additional turn lanes.

~ I I I . I Segmental Improvement Area 7 • Depresses the Okeechobee Road mainline under NW 87 Avenue and provides a service road for the local movements to NW 87 Avenue • Realigns NW 103 Street further to the north • Provides two flyover ramps from NB/SB NW 87 Avenue to WB/EB Okeechobee Road • Relocates the NW 105 Way bridge further west to NW 106 Street.
