Major roadway into Florida Keys reopens after full shutdown, deputies say

A crash shut down Card Sound Road in both directions on Sunday afternoon. The road is one of the two major roadways into the Florida Keys.

One of the only two roads into the Florida Keys has reopened after an hours-long closure following a traffic crash early Sunday afternoon, deputies said.

Around 2 p.m., the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office announced Card Sound Road, which leads into north Key Largo, was closed in both directions because of a crash that occurred on the Miami-Dade County side of the highway.

Authorities have not released details on the crash.

By 6:30 p.m., the highway was reopened to traffic.
