East Bascule Bridge on Venetian Causeway Closed Once Again
Work is expected to be completed by Dec. 29.
MIAMI BEACH, FL — The ornate East Bascule Bridge on the Venetian Causeway was shut down once again on Monday morning following a temporary reopening to help ease congestion around Miami Art Week.
The East Bascule Bridge, which has been undergoing repairs, links downtown Miami with Miami Beach and the Venetian Islands.
Constructed in 1927, the Venetian Causeway consists of 12 bridges – 10 fixed and two bascule bridges – which span the 11 man-made Venetian Islands.
