MIAMI (WSVN) - The Florida Highway Patrol has reopened an area previously closed surrounding the collapsed bridge near Florida International University.
On Saturday morning, FHP said Southwest Eighth Street from 107th Avenue to 117th Avenue has reopened to eastbound and westbound traffic. FHP said that it will continue to monitor the traffic, however.
Officials also asked drivers to be cautious in the reopened area surrounding the site of the bridge collapse.
The area had been shut down since March 15, after a pedestrian bridge under construction collapsed and killed six people, including FIU student Alexa Duran.
