Miami-Dade County, in collaboration with the City of Miami, has taken swift action to stabilize and secure the Coconut Grove Playhouse site following a temporary pause in the project’s Phase 1 construction in the revitalization of this cherished cultural treasure. Immediate actions and protective measures to shore up the structure, ensure safety and preserve historic elements were put in place. The exterior of the building has been stabilized, inspected by the engineer, and reviewed by the City of Miami.
In coordination with the City of Miami, both north and southbound travel lanes on Main Highway in Coconut Grove have been reopened today. Charles Avenue will remain closed until further notice as Miami-Dade County continues construction at the Coconut Grove Playhouse. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we work to ensure the safety of the community during this project.
