Both the upper-level and lower-level roadways had been closed due to the evacuation, causing a major traffic logjam in and around the airport.
BSO’s bomb squad was at the airport investigating the threat.
Access to Terminals 1 and 4, as well as the Rental Car Center, was not impacted, aside from the road and airport entry closures.
FLL advised travelers with flights on Saturday to check with the airlines for updated flight information prior to heading to the airport.
