836 is an extremely busy road, even for Miami.

I see an 87th Avenue and a 107th Avenue overpass on my Google Earth... but not a 97th. (Edit: Never mind, it was under construction.)

Just want to make sure you are correct when saying 97th.


Trying to find and map the same thing. Looks like 836 crosses over everything, never under an overpass for its entire length. Maybe part of 836 fell?

yeah, 97th is correct. It was under construction, new construction, as there wasn't a 'flyover' there before.

I hope everyone in the area cleared out
