Miami (USA): A port tunnel to get trucks out of downtown

Integrating port-city territories with the urban structure is essential for the growth and development of cities. To achieve this, extending existing infrastructure, such as roads and rails, to these areas is crucial. However, it is equally important to create new types of connections, including pedestrian access, bicycle paths, tramways, and buses, to end the physical isolation of these sites. By improving the existing grid, we can prevent overloading the city’s traffic, creating a smoother and more efficient transportation system for the inhabitants as well as for port traffic. In Miami, for example, a tunnel was constructed to remove trucks from the city’s centre, significantly reducing traffic congestion for all parties.
