storm

Miami Dade Expressway Authority is collecting tolls again from 2pm (14:00) after 27 hours suspension due to Tropical Storm Fay. The storm dumped heavy rain on the area and generates winds of up to 100km/hr (60mph) but did no damage and there were no storm-related incidents reported, MDX says.

Also the MD County causeways, Venetian and Rickenbacher toll from 14:00 Tuesday.

Toll collection has been suspended from 11am Monday (Aug 18) on most toll facilities in southern Florida because of the advance of a major tropical storm:

Exempt from tolls until further notice are

- Florida's Turnpike from its most southern point at US1 right up to IC86 in Palm Beach County

- all Miami-Dade Expressway Authority tollroads including state routes 836, 874, 112, 929 and 878
