Comments:

"Completed early 2015. At the east end of I-595, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) built the Eller Drive Overpass to carry vehicles entering Port Everglades over two new rail tracks that will expand into six working tracks for a new Intermodal Container Transfer Facility rail yard at the Port. Work also included reconstructing several ramps of the I-595/US 1/Eller Drive interchange, reconstructing the Eller Drive intersections at Northeast 7th Ave., Northeast 14th Ave. and McIntosh Road, installing new railroad tracks, crossing signals, relocating underground utilities, installing a stormwater management system, roadway construction, highway lighting system, landscaping and irrigation. Project cost: $42.5 million.

See also mention under ""recently completed"" construction projects on Port Everglades' website.

Transfer agreement was executed by both parties in June 2017."
