The Tamiami Trail, a 1920s road built to link Tampa and Miami, chokes the flow of much-needed freshwater through the historic heart of the Southern Everglades. Just over two years since groundbreaking, the second phase of the Tamiami Trail bridging project, which allows water to flow under the road, is on track to be completed by the end of 2018. This 2.6-mile bridge is a significant restoration milestone and will provide much-needed freshwater to Everglades National Park and Florida Bay.
