Narrative:

Mia airport is in a remodel mode -- various txwys blocked, unlighted and/or unmarked. Air carrier Y leaving gate X south side concourse to taxi to runway 9L -- instructions to use taxiway Q. Aside. Last week same scenario. Stopped short of runway 12- 30 after a call from ground controller -- close, but no incursion, armed with this recent experience I advised sic to monitor our progress and navigation as to keep us clear. However, Q5 and inner is barricaded. 'Q' is unlighted in this area (no center or edge lights) and taxiway 'south' has green centerline. I followed these with the intention of steering 300 degrees on the directional gyroscope, but proceeded too far. Ground control called, we stopped, discussion: delta exited runway 12/30. Then air carrier Y -- we were given instructions to taxi via 'south' to runway 9R. Several detours because of barricades and unlighted portions. Ground control advised he was 'ok!' (if we were --_ we reviewed the situation and I have no confidence that I wouldn't fall into this same trap again. Ground control evidently sees this type incident enough to be aware of the potential to miss the Q taxiway and wander. Need some kind of highway reflective targets to make rtes recognizable during this massive project or even flashes. Boat people with flashlights. Anything would help.

Title: ACR X RWY INCURSION DUE TO ARPT CONSTRUCTION.

Narrative: MIA ARPT IS IN A REMODEL MODE -- VARIOUS TXWYS BLOCKED, UNLIGHTED AND/OR UNMARKED. ACR Y LEAVING GATE X S SIDE CONCOURSE TO TAXI TO RWY 9L -- INSTRUCTIONS TO USE TXWY Q. ASIDE. LAST WK SAME SCENARIO. STOPPED SHORT OF RWY 12- 30 AFTER A CALL FROM GND CTLR -- CLOSE, BUT NO INCURSION, ARMED WITH THIS RECENT EXPERIENCE I ADVISED SIC TO MONITOR OUR PROGRESS AND NAV AS TO KEEP US CLR. HOWEVER, Q5 AND INNER IS BARRICADED. 'Q' IS UNLIGHTED IN THIS AREA (NO CTR OR EDGE LIGHTS) AND TXWY 'S' HAS GREEN CTRLINE. I FOLLOWED THESE WITH THE INTENTION OF STEERING 300 DEGS ON THE DIRECTIONAL GYROSCOPE, BUT PROCEEDED TOO FAR. GND CTL CALLED, WE STOPPED, DISCUSSION: DELTA EXITED RWY 12/30. THEN ACR Y -- WE WERE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO TAXI VIA 'S' TO RWY 9R. SEVERAL DETOURS BECAUSE OF BARRICADES AND UNLIGHTED PORTIONS. GND CTL ADVISED HE WAS 'OK!' (IF WE WERE --_ WE REVIEWED THE SIT AND I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THAT I WOULDN'T FALL INTO THIS SAME TRAP AGAIN. GND CTL EVIDENTLY SEES THIS TYPE INCIDENT ENOUGH TO BE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL TO MISS THE Q TXWY AND WANDER. NEED SOME KIND OF HWY REFLECTIVE TARGETS TO MAKE RTES RECOGNIZABLE DURING THIS MASSIVE PROJECT OR EVEN FLASHES. BOAT PEOPLE WITH FLASHLIGHTS. ANYTHING WOULD HELP.
