Important Miami-Dade thoroughfare will widen from four to six lanes

One of Miami-Dade County's most important thoroughfares, Red Road, is being overhauled from Okeechobee Road to just south of the Gratigny Parkway toll road. The reconstruction of Red Road, also known as 57 th Avenue, involves widening from four to six lanes, adding a concrete median and proving new traffic signals, lighting and landscaping - among other improvements.
