| SR 858 (Hallandale Beach Boulevard) meets I-95 in a half mile at Exit 18.

She was able to survive with a few bumps and bruises. These cameras were installed due to the presence of two "blindspots" that cannot be seen from the bridge tender control tower.6 Cameras were considered for some of the other 13 drawbridges in Broward County, especially as a result of another drawbridge accident on SR 838 (Sunrise Boulevard) in Fort Lauderdale. In that accident, 82 year old Savitiri Motwane was killed October 2, 2003, as she was unable to hang on to the bridge as it raised to allow clearance for two boats to pass under the Sunrise Boulevard bridge.7 01/23/16 |
