Work on Meridian Avenue
On January 5, 2026, the City of Miami Beach will begin construction to improve Meridian Avenue from 17 Street to Lincoln Lane South, as part of the Lincoln Road Improvements Phase II. This effort is a continuation of a $36 million investment in the Lincoln Road corridor designed to improve safety, walkability, and the overall visitor experience. Lincoln Road Redevelopment Phase II is divided into two components: Drexel Avenue and Meridian Avenue Improvements. The Meridian Avenue work is in Phase II of three planned phases in the Lincoln Road District. It advances the City’s long-term vision to enhance walkability, cultural programming and public spaces.
UPDATE
Starting Tuesday, July 21, crews will begin sidewalk improvement, in stages, on both the east and west sides of Meridian Avenue between Lincoln Road and 17 Street.
Stage I of the sidewalk improvements will include closing the sidewalk between Lincoln Road and Lincoln Lane North (east side only), closing sidewalk adjacent to Macy’s on Meridian Avenue, and the addition of a pedestrian crossing that will connect the east and west sides of Meridian Avenue (see map for further clarification).
Both the north and south crosswalks at the intersection of Lincoln Road and Meridian Avenue will be open to pedestrians.
For any questions, or additional information, please contact the Public Information Liaison for the project, Veronica Briceño, via email at veronica.briceno@iscprgroup.com or by phone at 954.548.2754.
Please note this schedule may change due to weather and/or unforeseen circumstances.
Lincoln Road/Drexel Avenue Capital Improvement Project
Exciting changes are underway! The City of Miami Beach has officially launched Phase II of its Lincoln Road/Drexel Avenue Capital Improvement Project, continuing the transformation of this key corridor into a pedestiran-first destination. The enhancements will elevate the experience between Lincoln Road and Española Way with new landscaping, expanded café seating, upgraded paving and lighting, and a new amphitheater-style performance space inspired by Morris Lapidus’s iconic MiMo design.
