Eastbound 96th street is currently backed up from Biscayne Blvd. to A1A. We suggest that persons wishing to enter the area go north to 163 Street and head east from there. There is a checkpoint on A1A to enter Surfside. Only persons who live in this area will be allowed to enter. A photo ID showing place of residence is required. Please do not attempt to enter Surfside if you do not have the proper ID. You will only create additional backups. Thank you for your cooperation and please have a safe day.
(This seems accurate, it's currently 40 minutes plus to enter Surfside from any direction, and from the south it's closed.
I assume this is because of overcrowding near the site and to prevent the need for major crowd control, but I don't know.)
