Marine traffic access between Ferry Reach and Castle Harbour will be closed starting at 8 a.m. today due the placement of a new bridge across the Causeway. Longbird bridge will also be closed to marine traffic on Saturday.

Marine Police will monitor the start of the work and the area throughout the day to ensure mariners adhere to the safety warning.

“The closure is to ensure the safety of marine traffic while the replacement bridges are being launched into the final position,” said a press release from the Ministry of Works and Engineering.
