The Interstate-395 Signature Bridge (also referred to as The Fountain) is an ongoing construction project on the I-395/SR-836/I-95 Midtown Interchange in downtown Miami, Florida. The bridge was designed by Donald MacDonald architects, led by the Archer-Western-de Moya Group. The Florida Department of Transportation and Miami-Dade Expressway Authority are the current overseers of the project. The bridge spans 1025 feet (312 meters), with a maximum arch height reaching 325 feet (100 meters). The construction project began in 2016 and was intended to be completed in 2024, but setbacks have moved the expected completion date to 2027. The Fountain aspect of the bridge intends to stand as a landmark for passerby visible from the Port of Miami, while the bridge additionally serves as an emergency evacuation route from Miami Beach. The wider project, known as Connecting Miami, also includes double decking a portion of the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) west of the Midtown Interchange.
