The Village of El Portal will be constructing Phase One of the Stormwater Improvements Plan in the El Jardin neighborhood in October 2021. There will be road construction to NE 86 Street at NE 2nd Avenue to N. Miami Avenue, that will close the streets to traffic except for local traffic only. Any specific work being done in front of someone’s home that requires closure will be coordinated through our nice contractor, Southeastern Engineering Contractors. Your patience is appreciated during this four-week construction project that will result in far less ponding and flooding in your area.

Start Date: October 4, 2021
End Date (Projected): January 3, 2022

According to Miami Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works, the bridge reconstruction project remains halted because soil conditions did not allow for the implementation of the canal bank slopes originally permitted by the Army Corp of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District. Therefore, the County’s Design Build Team developed an alternative solution for the canal embankment protection and is in the process of obtaining the permit modifications required for the new design. Once these modifications are approved by the permitting agencies, the bridge construction will resume. 

In the meantime, the Design Build Team is inspecting and maintaining the site regularly, ensuring the safety of the public and that the Maintenance of Traffic devices are properly in place.  Stay alert and stay safe.

FEMA Proposes Changes to Flood Maps to affect El Portal and Miami Dade County.

The FEMA Region IV project team anticipated issuing preliminary maps for the Miami-Dade County Coastal Physical Map Revision (PMR) in December 2019. However, around that same time, the project team learned that the Miami-Dade County Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) was submitting updated hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and floodplain mapping data for the C-8 and C-9 canal basins.
