3 Bridges In Pinellas County Will Be locked By 8P.M. Tonight
Reports tell us that 3 bridges in Pinellas county will be closed by 8p.m. tonight. This was important information to me because I live in St. Petersburg. Pinellas County officials announced it would be locking three movable bridges by 8 p.m. on September 25th! Good thing that it’s only for boats though. Drivers will still be able to access the bridges to get where they have to go. See what the bridges are below.
3 Bridges In Pinellas County Will Be Locked At 8 P.M. Tonight
According to News Channel 8, Three movable bridges will be locked by 8pm tonight. The U.S. Coast Guard has advised officials to close the Dunedin Causeway bridges, Beckett Bridge in Tarpon Springs and the Park Boulevard Bridge in Seminole. Again, these 3 bridges will be open to traffic but will not be open for boat traffic until conditions are clear following Hurricane Helene.
If you are operating a high clearance boat you need to do it before 8.pm. on Wednesday. FHP and the Florida Department of Transportation will also close the Sunshine Skyway Bridge once the speeds get up to 45MPH. The Howard Frankland Bridge, Gandy Bridge and Courtney Campbell Causeway will be closed if wave action makes travel unsafe.
