Road closures planned

Bryant Bridge Road that crosses Blackwater River will be closed for repairs beginning Monday, Sept. 13, according to officials with the Florida Division of Forestry.

Repairs should be completed by Monday, Oct. 18.  Scheduled repairs include replacing pilings and resurfacing the bridge span.

Drivers are advised to avoid the bridge and use State Road 4 or U.S. Highway 90 as alternate east-west routes and Deaton Bridge Road for north-south traffic. Detour signs will be posted.

Dorcas Road, off of Hwy 393, will be closed at the bridge over Pond Creek for repairs.  The closure will begin on Monday, Aug. 30 and the work is expected to be finished by Sept. 9.

Access will be available from each side up to the closure, but no through traffic will be permitted.
