The ramp from northbound U.S. 17 to I-295 South will also be closed.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge has seen several scheduled closures since Spring due to an ongoing finger joint replacement project. The Florida Department of Transportation said it also involves structural steel work.<\/p>\n<p>Through the course of the project, FDOT only allows for double lane closures from 10 p.m. on Fridays up until 4 a.m. on Mondays so as not to make drivers&#8217; often-chaotic weekday commute worse.<\/p>\n<p>Speed limits in the project zone are lowered from 65 mph to 55 mph.<\/p>\n<p>The $5.4 million project isn&#8217;t expected to be complete until early 2026, so more closures like these are expected over the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>FDOT said drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, as backups in the area are likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A project on the Buckman Bridge is expected to continue causing traffic disruptions into early 2026.
