Drivers on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach’s North Beach neighborhood should expect slowdowns for about 10 weeks as the cleanup continues after the demolition of The Deauville Beach Resort, a 17-story oceanfront building.

A once-luxurious Miami Beach hotel that hosted the Beatles and President John F. Kennedy during its 1960s heyday has been imploded.

A piece of history in Miami Beach was demolished Sunday morning.

Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber announced Monday the Deauville Hotel’s demolition is “all but a certainty” and Stephen M. Ross, the owner of the Miami Dolphins, wants to develop the property.
