Fans of the Marlins and Washington Nationals heading into Sunday afternoon’s series finale may have to give themselves another way to borrow Depot Park — and more time — after a boat fire closed one of the Miami River bridges.
The Northwest 12th Avenue bridge, occupied by many arriving at the stadium from the east or State Rd. 836, also known as the Dolphin Expressway, has been closed due to a boat fire, Miami police announced on social media at 11:17 a.m. The Marlins and Nationals start at 1:40 p.m
If you usually exit the Dolphin at Northwest 12th Avenue, instead of turning left, you can continue straight on Northwest 12th Street, past River Landing and to the Northwest 17th Avenue bridge.
Or, if you’re coming south on Interstate 95 before the Dolphin, stay on 95 south and take the next exit for Overtown. Continue straight to Northwest Sixth Street, turn right and take it to Northwest Seventh Avenue. Turn left, go over the drawbridge and immediately turn right onto Northwest Seventh Street.
People walking from the Metrorail stop near Jackson Memorial Hospital should turn west (right) on Northwest 14th Street and walk to Northwest 17th Avenue to take that bridge.
