DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – All eastbound lanes of the Daytona Beach bridges have reopened after previously being closed Saturday afternoon, according to the Daytona Beach Police Department.
Police said the eastbound lanes were closed due to public safety concerns related to the influx of event traffic.
“Today the city hosted 5 large events, centered around Memorial weekend festivities,” Police Chief Jakari Young said in an update on Twitter. “Due to the unprecedented influx of beachside traffic, we had to temporarily [close] the east bound lane of the bridges, similar to the way we handle the truck events. We appreciate your patience.”
