Greater Miami Route 22 Adapts to Bridge Work

Miami Route 22 buses detour to NW 27 Avenue due to bridge closure on NW 22 Avenue

Miami Route 22 Detours to NW 27 Avenue

Miami-Dade Transit's Route 22 is running on a detour that affects riders traveling through a northwest Miami corridor. Buses can't use NW 22 Avenue between NW 14 Street and NW 20 Street due to a bridge closure, transit officials said Tuesday. Service has been redirected to NW 27 Avenue, though officials haven't said how long the detour will last.

Bridge Closure Forces Service Change

The detour became necessary because of a bridge closure on NW 22 Avenue, according to Miami-Dade Transit. Officials didn't provide details about what caused the closure or when repairs might be completed. Transit agencies typically reroute buses when infrastructure problems make normal routes impassable, and riders often face longer travel times during such disruptions. Specific information about which bridge is closed or the nature of the structural issue wasn't available by publication time.

Riders Must Use Different Stops

Passengers who normally board along the affected stretch of NW 22 Avenue will need to use stops on NW 27 Avenue instead. Officials haven't said exactly how many stops are affected or how much additional travel time riders should expect. The detour notice shows the rerouted path but doesn't include estimated delays. Miami-Dade Transit operates more than 95 bus routes across the county, and Route 22 serves neighborhoods in the northwest section of the system.

No Timeline for Normal Service

Miami-Dade Transit hasn't announced when Route 22 will return to its regular path. The agency's detour notice lists the duration as unknown, and officials didn't provide an estimated timeline for when the bridge might reopen. Eulois Cleckley, director of Miami-Dade's Department of Transportation and Public Works, oversees transit operations, though his office hasn't released a statement about the closure.

Riders Should Plan Ahead

Commuters who rely on Route 22 should allow extra time and confirm their stop locations before traveling. Officials said riders can check the detour map for specific routing details, though information about alternative routes wasn't immediately available.
