Information provided by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office:

The southbound lane of Navarre Beach Bridge will temporarily close at 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 12 to assist with traffic control following the U.S. Navy Blue Angels airshows.

This temporary closure will allow both lanes to be used for northbound traffic only, helping to ease congestion as attendees exit the beach following the airshow. The southbound lane is expected to reopen within two hours , depending on traffic flow.

Motorists needing access to Navarre Beach during this temporary closure should plan to go through Pensacola Beach and travel through the Gulf Islands National Seashore along Hwy. 399 (J. Earle Bowden Way).
