The wind is also blowing in a westward direction, which could help push the intense smoke away from the road, improving visibility in the area over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fire currently poses no danger to any structures or residents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roadway is expected to remain closed until officials determine it\u2019s safe for drivers to pass through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please check back on WSVN.com and 7News for more details on this developing story.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Sunbeam Television Corp.
