 US
441 reduces to a one-lane ramp before it merges with FL 826 East. |
 Then
there is a ramp from US 441/FL 826 to the Turnpike NB. This picture is
after that ramp on the southern stub of the Turnpike. |
 The
toll plaza on the Florida's Turnpike stub. |
 They
are reconstructing a bridge right past the plaza, so traffic is reduced to 2
lanes each way on one side of the road. |
 The
end of the construction. |
 The
turnpike is very wide here, as it goes by Dolphins Stadium. |
 Dolphins
Stadium, where not only the Dolphins play, but also the Marlins. Go
Fins! |
 The
north end of the Turnpike stub. The mainline turnpike follows the
Homestead Extension southward to Homestead. |
 A
view of the Turnpike NB. |
 Northbound
at Griffin Road, FL 818. |
 The
Turnpike NB at I-595/FL 84/US 441. This interchange has a bunch of
sharp curves that people take way too fast. |
 Evidence
of my previous statement: this mess is what remains of the embankment of one
ramp after a tanker blew up as it crashed. Taking this curve too fast
will kill you. |
 The
exit for Sunrise Blvd., FL 838. This road will get you right downtown
Ft. Lauderdale. |
 Crossing
Toll FL 869, the Sawgrass Expy. |
 In
Palm Beach County now, this is nearing Atlantic Ave. |
 The
Turnpike goes down to 4 lanes in Palm Beach County. |
 But
it looks as if there is construction to widen it. Traffic definitely
warrants a widening, I would say. |
