Drivers in St. Johns and Clay Counties should expect traffic delays at the Shands Bridge beginning Wednesday due to planned maintenance.

From Wednesday at noon onward, there will be lane closures with flaggers directing traffic.

The bridge is expected to fully reopen on Thursday morning.

Drivers are advised to use a different route, like the Buckman Bridge, if possible.

A new four-lane bridge is set to be constructed just south of the existing Shands Bridge. It’s expected to be completed by 2030.

Below is a rendering of what it should look like:
