Traffic alert: Interstate 95 and I-195 rollovers create backups into Miami, Miami Beach

Avoid Interstate 95 southbound Tuesday morning after a pair of crashes clogged traffic heading into Miami Beach and downtown Miami.

Around 6:40 a.m., a Jeep rolled over at the start of the eastbound Julia Tuttle Causeway, also known as I-195. This backed up traffic to the exit from I-95, and I-95’s problems soon were compounded with a rollover crash just before the exits to 195 and State Road 112.

The Jeep in the first crash was turned over at about 7:30 a.m. and alleviated the Tuttle problem, and the I-95 rollover cleared about a half hour later.

Still, the even slower-than-usual traffic crawl on Interstate 95 stretches back to the Golden Glades. Take Biscayne Boulevard, Miami Avenue or Northwest Seventh Avenue south if you can.
