This week, it’ll seem like all of Miami is on the move for Art Week\u2014but the traffic might be at a standstill. <\/p>\n
From now until Sunday, Dec. 7, more than 100,000 people are expected to attend Miami Art Week events, which go from 9 a.m. until around 3 a.m. the next day.<\/p>\n
And thanks to these several art fairs, Art Basel among the most popular of the bunch, drivers are likely to encounter backups and detours.<\/p>\n
Here’s what to know. <\/p>\n
Rideshare drop-off points<\/p>\n

Miami police said that “while no road closures are currently planned, please be aware that heavy traffic congestion may necessitate some detours or closures.”<\/p>\n
Some areas where you should expect delays include: <\/p>\n
MacArthur Causeway: the exit to Miami Beach toward Interstate 395 and Interstate 95 will be backed up due to roadwork<\/p>\n
Venetian Causeway: the bridge won’t open for vessels between 3 and 8 p.m. during the week and 3 to 7 p.m. during the weekend, except for emergencies<\/p>\n
Intersections on NE 12th Avenue,\u00a0NW 146th Street,\u00a0SW 57th Court and Coral Way, among others, have ongoing construction underway until 2026. Drivers should look for alternate routes.<\/p>\n
Police officers will be assigned throughout the area to assist with vehicular and pedestrian traffic.<\/p>\n
