FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A law enforcement investigation caused major delays at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and on the interstates leading to it early Thursday morning.

The airport announced it was reopening just before 7:30 a.m., but urged travelers to remain patient while operations resume.

A tweet from the airport said all entrance roadways closed down because of an investigation at terminals 2 and 3.

FLL released little information as to what was going on and directed travelers to contact their airlines for flight statuses.

Several commenters on social media said they were stuck on planes that had been on the tarmac or at the gate for hours.

News4Jax will update this story when more information becomes available.
