Heads up, commuters! If you're planning to traverse the Acosta Bridge come tomorrow, you’ll need to map out an alternative route. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority has announced on social media that the southbound lanes of the bridge will be closed starting today, through Thursday, between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. This temporary closure is due to scheduled route maintenance.
The detour will impact several bus routes, specifically numbers 8, 17, 25, and 107, rerouting the paths many rely on to navigate the city's skeleton. For those dependent on these lines for their daily commutes, there is an advisory to plan for potential delays and adjust travel schedules accordingly. The details of these changes and the detour routes are laid out on JTA's official website, available to anyone seeking more information.
According to the Jacksonville Transportation Authority's Facebook post, "Routes 8,17, 25 and 107 will be affected." Travelers affected by this disruption can find assistance on the JTA’s website, where the authority has provided comprehensive details about the alternative routes.
In the wake of the pending bridge closure, riders can reach out to JTA customer service for any further clarifications.
