What Makes Highway Travel in the Florida Keys More Challenging?
Routes carrying regional traffic near Overseas Highway Mile Marker 88 can experience delays after accidents. Crews in Islamorada often prioritize clearing hazards to keep traffic moving along this key route.
The Overseas Highway is a narrow corridor that connects multiple islands, which can limit space for drivers to maneuver. When crashes occur, even minor incidents can lead to slowdowns due to reduced lane availability.
