Two Fort Lauderdale Bridges Malfunction Cause Major Rush Hour Disruptions
Two separate drawbridge malfunctions caused significant traffic disruptions in Fort Lauderdale during rush hours this week. On Wednesday, the 17th Street Causeway bridge experienced a mechanical failure that left it stuck in a semi-closed position, prompting authorities to block the road and redirect traffic until repairs were completed and the bridge reopened late that evening. Later in the week, the Davie Boulevard Bridge over the New River became stuck in an open position, leading to closures and detours during a Friday rush hour, with officials advising drivers to avoid the area and seek alternate routes. Maintenance crews were dispatched promptly in both incidents, but repair timelines were initially unclear, causing prolonged traffic delays. These events highlight ongoing infrastructure challenges impacting daily commutes in Fort Lauderdale. Drivers are advised to monitor local news for updates on bridge statuses and traffic conditions.
