About I-595

I-595, also known as the Port Everglades Expressway, is a major highway in Florida that runs from I-75 in Fort Lauderdale to I-95 in Davie. The highway serves as an important transportation route for residents and tourists traveling through the Fort Lauderdale area and to Port Everglades, one of the busiest cruise ports in the world. I-595 offers quick and convenient access to popular destinations such as the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Sawgrass Mills Mall, and the beaches of Fort Lauderdale. Despite its importance, I-595 has a history of congestion during peak hours, but ongoing improvements aim to enhance the flow of traffic and improve the driving experience. The highway is also undergoing a major expansion project to add express lanes, improve exits and interchanges, and provide alternative modes of transportation, such as express bus service. With these improvements, I-595 will continue to play a crucial role in the transportation infrastructure of South Florida and the state as a whole.
