Miami Protects Service During Station Upgrade

Dadeland South Station to operate single-track service for six weeks starting February 23, 2026

Dadeland South Station Gets Single-Track Service

Miami-Dade Transit will implement single-tracking operations at Dadeland South Station starting February 23, 2026, affecting thousands of daily commuters. The temporary service change will last approximately six weeks as construction work progresses at the station, transit officials said. Trains will serve only one platform side during the construction period, with phased platform closures planned throughout the timeline.

Construction Work Drives Service Modifications

The single-tracking operations are part of the Dadeland South Intermodal Station Project, according to Miami-Dade County's transportation department. The project aims to improve station infrastructure and connectivity, though officials didn't provide specific details about the scope of improvements or total project costs. Transit agencies typically implement single-tracking during major station renovations to maintain service while allowing construction access to platform areas. The work represents one of several ongoing infrastructure projects across Miami-Dade Transit's rail system.

Six-Week Timeline for Platform Work

The single-tracking period will run for approximately six weeks beginning February 23, 2026, officials confirmed. Platform closures will be phased throughout the construction timeline, though the agency didn't specify which platforms will close on which dates. Passengers should expect service delays during the entire construction period. Officials said they'll provide updates as work progresses, but specific details about delay durations or alternative service options weren't available by publication time.

Implementation Begins Late February

The service modifications take effect February 23, 2026, with completion expected by early April 2026. Miami-Dade Transit typically notifies riders several weeks before major service changes through station signage and announcements. Officials encouraged passengers to plan extra travel time during the construction period to account for potential delays caused by single-tracking operations.

Riders Should Plan Extra Travel Time

Commuters using Dadeland South Station should add buffer time to their trips throughout the six-week construction period. Service delays are expected as trains navigate single-track operations and phased platform closures.
