Military Trail reopened Thursday night in both directions near Greenacres, the Florida Department of Transportation said. Two northbound and two southbound lanes were open to drivers as of 7:05 p.m.
The stretch between 10th Avenue and Forest Hill Boulevard had been closed since the Nov. 1 crash of a Learjet, which left a large crater in the road. Crews spent the past 48 hours paving and striping the roadway. Sidewalk repairs started Thursday and were still underway.
FDOT said crews worked overnight and into Thursday morning to reopen the northbound lanes before the full road reopened later in the day.
The Learjet had departed Austin, Texas, bound for the Bahamas when it crashed near Greenacres. Nine people were killed. No one on the ground was seriously injured.
Drivers who use this section of Military Trail can now travel through in both directions again.
