The flyover ramp from eastbound 836 to northbound 826 has been opened last week, effectively cutting off the old loop ramp. Recently the fence over the CSX Lehigh Spur and the street lights (low lights at the area near MIA's runway 9) have been installed telling me that the bridge is ready. Also the exit to NW 25 ST out of northbound 826 has been put earlier in a temporary collector-distributor fashion so that traffic from 836 can share a lane with the 25th street ramp traffic and both have the opportunity to exit off at the final exit.
Now the eastbound mainline bridge can continue to be constructed and soon enough Eastbound 836 will have a new alignment to follow.
The westbound to southbound flyover is also closed in, with the last section in the curing process. I wouldn't see this one opened up until traffic on southbound 826 manages to go over the new bridges over 7th Street, which are just waiting to be opened up.
Looks messy... but I'm sure the DOT's engineers have this figured out.
