SUBJECT: Request for FHWA Concurrence
Port of Miami Truck Access Improvements @I-95/ NW 8 Street
Dear Mr. Juntunen:
THOMAS F BARRY, JP_
SECRETARY
Thank you for your participation in the preliminary interest meeting of July 19, 2001 between the FDOT
District Six Interchange Review Committee (DIRC) and the proponent Port of Miami concerning above
referenced project. This letter will serve as a summary of the DIRC and FHWA's determination.
The project scope as presented by the Port of Miami involved:
1. Raising the existing NB I-95 to EB I-395 ramp structure at NW 8 Street to provide adequate
vertical clearance for trucks. This work will not involve any additional lanes on the ramp or
relocation of the ramp terminals.
2. Adding a new ramp from WB NW 8 Street connecting to the existing ramp from NB I-95 to
WB SR-836 in order to improve truck access from the Port of Miami to WB SR-836. This
work will not involve new mainline terminals, additional lanes at the existing I-95 and SR-
8' ramp terminals, or relocation of any terminals. The segment between the new merge at
the existing ramp and the WB SR-836 entry terminal will be widened to two lanes but taper
back to one lane well before entry on WB SR-836.
3. No intersection modifications at NW 8 Street/ NW 3 Terrace adverse to the SB I-95
mainline.
The DIRC and FHWA determined that a separate Interchange Modification Report (IMR) would not be
required based on the scope presented.
However, because of potential traffic back-ups on the NB I-95 mainline near the existing off -ramp to
WB SR-836 that could result from the new NW 8 Street ramp, the DIRC and FHWA directed that a
stand-alone Interchange Operational Analysis Report (IOAR) be included in the Preliminary
Engineering (P.E.) Report for the forthcoming PD&E study to be managed by the FDOT District Six

Environmental Management Office (DEMO). In addition, the DIRC and FHWA proposed that
CORSIM rather than HCS be the analysis tool for the IOAR. Prior to execution of the analysis, DEMO
will present the proposed IOAR methodology to the DIRC and FHWA for review and concurrence.
Upon completion of the IOAR, DEMO will present the report to the DIRC and FHWA for final review
and approval.
Please return your concurrence with this determination to the above address. Should you have any
questions, you can contact me at 305-377-5910.
