In a recent development, the Florida Highway Patrol and the Florida Department of Transportation have taken the necessary steps to shut down traffic on Interstate 95 Southbound from Oakland Park Boulevard to Griffin Road due to flooding. This action was deemed necessary as at least one vehicle in the area has been reported to be underwater. Luckily, no injuries have been reported thus far.

To manage the situation, southbound traffic is being diverted at Oakland Park Blvd, with vehicles being allowed to re-enter the highway at Stirling Road. The closure of this section of the interstate will remain in effect until further notice, allowing time for the water to drain from the affected area.

To address the flooding issue, contractors have been dispatched and are en route to pump the drainage system, aiding in the process of clearing the water from the interstate.

As this is a developing story, it is advised to stay tuned to WSVN.com and 7News for the latest updates and further details regarding this incident.
