Commuters on the Palmetto Expressway this morning faced increased delays when a significant crack caused the closure of a key ramp. According to WSVN, crews found structural damage on the ramp connecting northbound lanes of State Road 826 to Interstate 75, leading to an immediate shutdown for safety reasons.
The ramp closure added to existing traffic disruptions caused by ongoing construction. As reported by NBC Miami, drivers were redirected to Northwest 122nd Street, heading west to reach I-75.
The ramp had recently been marked with large metal plates, signaling potential issues with its condition. Officials have not provided a timeline for reopening the ramp but are advising drivers to stay informed and plan alternate routes.
