Miami-Dade County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works closed the Financial District Metromover Station on Saturday, Oct. 24, for switch upgrades. The county estimates the closure will last approximately five weeks and has not given a firm reopening date. The station is at 50 SE 14th Street in downtown Miami. Read the county’s service notice for the advisory.
The Brickell Loop continues on a modified route during the station closure. Trains begin and end their trips at Brickell Metromover Station and do not serve Financial District. The county advises riders to allow extra travel time and says the closure schedule may change.
A separate notice on the county’s current Metromover page scheduled all Metromover stations to close until 2 p.m. on Oct. 24. That systemwide daytime notice is distinct from the approximately five-week Financial District closure; the page currently lists both advisories.
The switch work is part of the county’s ongoing Metromover upgrade project. DTPW says the wider effort aims to improve equipment reliability and availability, reduce wait times, increase operational flexibility and extend the system’s useful life. Those are project goals, not confirmed results of this station closure.
For trip planning, Miami-Dade directs riders to the GO Miami-Dade Transit app and Transit Alerts. The service advisory says schedules may change, so riders should check the county’s latest updates before traveling.
