FHP says both beach roads are open now

The Florida Highway Patrol just reopened State Road 50 in both directions.  Earlier FHP shut down the road from St. Nicholas Avenue in Orange County to Plantation Drive near I-95.  The Beachline state road 528 is also open.  Smoke from brush fires has been causing visability problems for several days.

Brush fires are also closing roads in Hudson and Land O Lakes.  We’ll keep an eye on the roads all day and let you know if they close again.  Listen for traffic reports every six minuts on News 96.5 WDBO.
