A Miami River bridge will stay closed for months to build a new one next to it

The Coast Guard is temporarily closing a railroad bridge over the Miami River's North Fork. This closure will last for several months while a new adjacent bridge is under construction.

This means marine traffic on that part of the river will be blocked for an extended period. The construction method for the new bridge makes it impossible for the existing bridge to open, forcing the closure. This will affect any businesses or individuals who rely on that section of the river for transport.
