Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands Project - Cutler Wetlands Component

The Town of Cutler Bay would like to inform our residents about an important development in our community. The South Florida Water Management District, in collaboration with their construction contractor, Central Civil, is undertaking the Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands Project - Cutler Wetlands Component. This project is designed to enhance the health of Biscayne Bay and aid in wetland rehydration, thereby building coastal resiliency and improving water quality in Miami-Dade County. In addition to environmental benefits, the project will feature publicly accessible recreational amenities, including a bird viewing area, bike path, pavilion, parking, and restroom facilities.

Road Closure Information:

Please be advised that there will be a road closure on SW 97th Avenue between SW 224th Street and SW 232nd Street for a duration of six months. This closure is necessary to ensure public safety during construction.
