Strengthening Miami’s role as a global trade gateway by improving port efficiency and freight mobility
Jacobs served as lead designer, for the design-builder, on the Port of Miami Tunnel, a landmark infrastructure project that reimagined access to one of the nation’s busiest seaports. By diverting cargo trucks and cruise buses away from downtown streets and onto a dedicated tunnel connection, the project dramatically improved traffic flow, safety and urban livability. As Florida’s first transportation project funded through a public-private partnership (P3), the tunnel set a new precedent for innovation in financing, design and delivery.
