Roadside Memorial

Joe Arthur’s roadside memorial was located on the east side of I95, northbound lane, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The memorial was damaged and removed by a Florida Highway contractor in January 2008. It was placed about 40 feet north of the Oakland Park Blvd west bound exit 31B (dead man’s curve), close to the crash site. To date, pictures of the original memorial are all that remains. This is a very dangerous area! Those who visit the crash site are encouraged to do so with extreme caution. Do not park your vehicle directly on the shoulder of I95. It’s best to park in the grass, next to the on-ramp and walk.
