WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — All lanes of Interstate 95 have reopened near Okeechobee Boulevard after local Cuban Americans voiced their support for the Cuban people amid protests on the island nation.
The rally backed up traffic for hours Tuesday evening as approximately 150 to 200 people gathered holding signs, Cuban flags, and asked for "Free Cuba."
Traffic was also slow along the northbound lanes of the interstate as drivers slowed down, honked their horns, and waved to supporters.
