In this video filmed June 30, 2022, we explore the $840 million construction projects taking place in Miami. This includes a massive, six-arch signature bridge in downtown, a double deck highway and other improvements.

Joel you’re the best. Love your content
Excellent 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼sometimes we don’t even know what’s going on in Miami when it comes to building stuff all over the place – thank you very informative video 😻
There's this website the next Miami that post every 1pm about construction.
Dude honestly you have more answers to questions I ask than I can find anywhere else lol keep doing what you're doing!
Since you are in downtown and have a drone, please give us an update on the Aston Martin Building, it shout have reached the top level already.
Wow, thanks for the tour! That new bridge is going to be awesome!
Dumb. Yeah let’s build more hw
New subscriber. Congrats on killing it so far and WOW almost a million views on one video, that's winning the YouTube lottery. Great drone shots, do you need special permission to film stuff like that. I'm trying to get my drone license and want to make my videos look better.
New buildings came out this year, I saw two of them basically, I see purple street lights when I go to expressway I’ve never seen them before and I can’t wait to see this bridge and any other future buildings in next other years man
Thanks!
There will be nothing but Drugs and urine under those bridges
Would cup 2026
Excellent reporting! Keep it up. Cheers.
Coming from Toronto, Summer 2026 seems soon! This project would finish in 2032 over here 😂
As a Miamian I just wish the State of Florida would give us as much money for this project to expand Metrorail which is sorely needed. Thank you for this video.
InsteD of that 840 + million Bridge they should of expanded the METRORAIL way past Dadeland OR into SOUTH BEACH up COLLINS …..
Boston had the Big Dig, and Miami is getting the Big Lift!
Any news on a metro mover, train, or monorail to Miami Beach
Here in Miami, we call this bridge "The Spider".
Great video
During my time here Miami has gone from a tiny city , to a global city, to a city state meaning completely independent of a nation really.
To a super state. Possibly more relevant than the nation it sits in?.
This bridge if you can even call it that is absolutely horrendous, what a waste. It has no beauty and it doesn't accomplish any engineering feet whatsoever. Maybe we should be worried about making their rail system more expensive and not relying so heavily on cars, getting more green space and densifying the city as a whole… Miami is still at town, it's got a long way to go to be a city, much more a world class one…
China would have probably finished it in 2 years
Miami can find the money to fund a "signature" bridge , but not affordable housing in the heart of Miami/Overtown? How much more economic abuse does the Overtown need? First segregation, then underserved now gentrified.
This money should’ve been used to expand the metro rail
Thank you for breaking everything down for everyone, Joel. Really looking forward to any updates in the foreseeable future!
I like the way you explained everything. I sometimes post videos about Miami's transit system but am technically challenged. I'm impressed!
Project will be Overly expensive and Obsolete by the time it's Done. ..Project is just to Line the Pockets of some people and Politicians, as Usual.
WHILE DISNEY TALKS ABOUT THE FUTURE MY MOST BELOVED NATIVE HOMETOWN OF MIAMI IS DOING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very well done! Thank you for your work, and thank you for sharing!
Imagine spending that money on public transportation instead of wasting it on more car traffic and dependency.
Thanks for the vid. Just visited Miami in Feb '23 from Canada and noted these huge foundation pieces rising above the level of the freeway. After this video my wondering is over. Now I'll need to come back in 2026 to view these amazing arches. They are going to be stunning.

Miami-Dade needs better public transportation. Half of the money invested in these works could add a few miles of Metrorail.
Miami the best city i love !!! Cuban culture !!!
Just in time for the World Cup.. Although a metro rail probably would have been a better start..
I appreciate this video, but I still don't understand what this bridge is bypassing. It's basically a "Land Bridge" is only over land and will connect to the existing highway that traverses Biscayne Bay, right? I also like the design, and happy that there was budget to allow for lighting, which is very important for nighttime aesthetics.
Very informative thank you ❤ 👏
As a native Miamian, most people in this city agree this is a colossal waste of money. Instead of giving us money to "spruce up" and gentrify the surrounding areas of Downtown, this money could have been used to expand Mass transit systems already in existence (MetroRail, MetroMover). But no, the State of Florida is not very progressive on issues that actually plague our cities and I can't say the local dimwit politicians in this town are any different. Miami can never become a real metropolis unless it fixes it's problems that plague it.
Me working here
Thank God it's toll money if not they would've used the money to house migrants lol in luxury hotels
I worry that they purposely literally said they used less support beams to have space under the bridges…..
Cool!
