  • FDOT closed all eastbound lanes between NW 17th Avenue and I-95 after a crane malfunction early Friday.
  • Officials estimate the shutdown will last until about noon while crews remove a precast cap segment and roadway debris.
  • One westbound left lane is also closed from I-95 to west of NW 12th Avenue to support the removal work.
  • Detours direct drivers via NW 17th Avenue, SW 1st Street and South Miami Avenue, with alternate routes advised on SR 112, SW 8th Street and U.S. 1.
