George Bush Boulevard's bascule bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway in Delray Beach will be closed from 8 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, to 8 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, for essential maintenance and repair to the bridge house, machinery, and associated bridge span gear indexing.

During this seven-day closure, both vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be redirected, Palm Beach County Engineering and Public Works announced. Drivers should use the Atlantic Avenue bridge to the south in Delray Beach via Ocean Boulevard or Federal Highway for detour routes. Another alternative is the Woolbright Road bridge to the north connecting Ocean Ridge and Boynton Beach.

In a news release, Engineering and Public Works said it "appreciates the community’s patience and understanding during this temporary closure."
