Roads affected by U.S. Secret Service and Miami Beach police closures Wednesday
Miami Beach Police announced road closures will take place Wednesday in the Venetian Islands due to the U.S. Secret Service.
According to authorities, the U.S. Secret Service, in coordination with Miami Beach Police, will implement the closures, which are expected to impact residents in the area.
In a statement shared on social media, officials said there will be “intermittent and extended road closures on the Venetian Islands in both cities on Wednesday, Jan. 28.”
A full closure will also be in effect at Venetian Way and West San Marino Drive from 2 p.m. to approximately 8 p.m., authorities said.
While the reason for the closures was not officially detailed, the Miami Herald reported they may be related to a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who is expected to attend a private event in Miami Beach, according to sources cited by the outlet.
This information has not been independently confirmed by NBC6.
The road closures coincide with a temporary air traffic restriction issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the Miami and Virginia Key area due to the movement of a VIP.
According to the notice, the restriction will be in effect from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m..
Authorities are advising affected residents to plan accordingly.
