Ingram’s Thorofare Bridge leading to Avalon will be closed Dec. 21-23 between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. for ongoing construction.

As a result, Avalon Boulevard (C.R. 601) will be closed to through traffic during the same hours. The roadway and bridge will reopen after those hours and remain open thereafter.

Motorists will have to follow detours.

Local traffic will be permitted to access Avalon Boulevard up to the Ingram’s Thorofare Bridge from either side but will not be permitted to cross the bridge.

Due to the current load restriction on the 96th Street Bridge (C.R. 657) in Stone Harbor, vehicles over 15 tons will not be able to access Stone Harbor/Avalon until traffic resumes on the Ingram’s Thorofare Bridge at 5 a.m. the following mornings.

Motorists are urged to plan accordingly and obey all traffic control devices and speed limits.
