The two routes form a continuous freeway, with I-395 heading east from I-95 into downtown Miami. It is one of the shortest Interstates in the country. All photos were taken in June 1979 by Averill Hecht, except the I-395 shield above (with background signage) was taken on NW 12th St. WB at NW 2nd Ave. in Miami by Michael Summa in 1973.


Two photos from FL 836. The first is eastbound at LeJeune Rd./42nd Ave., at a sort of double-trumpet interchange (look at an online map of your choice). The second is northbound on 27th Ave., which may also be FL 9 (according to Google Maps). FL 9 ghosts I-95 up the Florida coast starting a couple of miles north of here.


Two views of the FL 836/I-395/I-95 stack. It's a modified stack wherein instead of each pair of opposing flyovers being on the same level, each left-hand ramp is on the same level as the roadway it left from. I-95 SB and the SB-EB ramp are on the bottom, for example.


I-395 EB. The reason there are ramps on both the left and right is because traffic from I-95 has three lanes, while traffic from FL 836 has two lanes. Mixing that traffic within 1500 feet seemed like a poor idea, so instead the 836 and 95 traffic stays on their respective sides of a divider, and each gets its own exit to US 1 and downtown Miami. East of here, the lanes merge together, and US 41 takes over on the way across to Miami Beach.


12th St. WB, which acts as the onramp from US 1 to I-395 WB. Unlike with eastbound traffic, westbound traffic is not divided before the ramps from US 1 can merge in, but rather the ramps merge in on opposite sides just to prevent weaving (as in, it's still possible to weave if you felt compelled to).
