Construction Will Soon Commence on Beachwalk
Early next year, construction will commence on the last section of the Beachwalk, an oceanfront promenade extending more than six miles that will stretch the full length of the barrier island, from the South Beach area to North Beach.
Upon its completion in spring 2022, the Beachwalk will extend from South Beach’s popular South Pointe Park through Lummus Park and will continue in a northern direction before it ends at North Beach Oceanside Park. The segment that has yet to be completed is nestled between 79 and 87 streets.
The Beachwalk scheme of the city is part of the wider Greenway of the East Coast, a walking and biking path that runs from to Key West for well over 2,700 miles. This pedestrian and cycle infrastructure facilitates alternative transit and links parks, cultural facilities and commercial hubs to the city. In the Miami Beach section of the East Coast Greenway, this project is the final connection. A 25-foot-wide paver pathway, lighting for turtles, and salt-tolerant plants are included in the final section.
Over 250 trees will be replaced as part of the expansion, including 183 palms that conflict with development or are in bad health, but the reduction will be more than covered by the installation of 433 fresh, native and Florida-friendly canopy trees chosen for their marine climate hardiness and environmental perks.
