Turnpike Construction & Sound Walls

Many of you have already received a mailer from the Turnpike Authority with regards to the express lane project which they currently have in progress.  For those of you that have not, the Turnpike Authority intends to install sound walls along the Turnpike  to reduce traffic generated noise.  Looking at the proposed locations of the sound walls, it does not look like they will impact anyone as they will be built across the canal, away from homes, so construction of these walls should not affect the homes that sit behind the Turnpike on Circle East, Circle South or Circle North.  It should go without saying that those of you who use the Turnpike for their daily commute to work through Kendall drive or via SW 120th Street will be affected by the project as it begins to snarl traffic due to shifting lanes, ramp closures or lane closures.  Work is not scheduled to begin until this spring and will end sometime in 2018.  For more information regarding this project, Click Here.
