Kristen M. Clark writes for the Miami Herald that the entire stretch of I-75 from I-10 to 441 may be closed off.

As of early afternoon, the interstate remained open. The I-75 bridge over the Sante Fe River near mile marker 408 “remains safe and passable,” state transportation officials said early Wednesday — but they’re watching the river very closely as it continues to rise.

“If the river were to rise to an unsafe level, the bridge would become impassable both northbound and southbound, and would be closed immediately,” FDOT warned.
