The Hart Bridge is temporarily closed, starting at 9 a.m. and extending into the afternoon, as construction material is removed.
Removing construction material and equipment is a precaution for Hurricane Irma, which is expected to have high winds. Traffic will be detoured to the Acosta Bridge. The Main Street Bridge was closed Sept. 6 to remove construction materials there.
Similar precautions have been taken at other construction projects across Northeast Florida.
