Traffic will either get off on College Street or take the Acosta bridge to I-95 south. It will also be difficult to get to Riverside from the old bridge. The best route for traffic will be the Acosta. The two new lanes are expected to open this weekend. However, there's still a lot of work that needs to done before that will happen.
Workers have to put up barrier walls, stripe it and add some asphalting.
Weather permitting, the two new lanes will open Sunday. On Friday night, the entire bridge - both the new and the old will close to prepare. Construction on the new Fuller Warren Bridge began in August 1996. It is expected to be finished by the fall of 2002. First Coast News.
