The Memorial Bridge, commonly known as the Orange Avenue bridge, in Daytona Beach closed to through traffic at about 2:30 p.m. today following a malfunction in an electric motor. It will be closed until further notice.
A crew from Volusia County’s Road and Bridge Division opened the bridge manually to permit boat traffic until the bridge is repaired. Parts have been ordered, and the bridge will be repaired after they arrive.
Meanwhile, motorists are encouraged to use the U.S. 92 bridge as an alternate route.
