VERO BEACH, Fla. — Bridges connecting the barrier islands to the mainland in Indian River County reopened Thursday morning after they were closed because of Nicole.
The Indian River County Sheriff's Office said early Thursday the bridges "are now determined to be impassible by non-emergency vehicular traffic."
Impacted bridges included the Merrill P. Barber Bridge and Wabasso Causeway Bridge.
Those bridges eventually reopened just after 5 a.m., the county announced on Twitter.
❗️Barrier Island bridges in Indian River County are open. Please travel cautiously if you must be on the road. ❗️
