SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - The westbound side of the 163rd Street bridge, out of Sunny Isles Beach, is stuck in the upright position, and it is expected to remain that way overnight, officials said.

The Sunny Isles Police Department tweeted this a short time ago:

Traffic is being diverted through the Sunny Isles business loop, back eastbound.

The bridge remains stuck and will be repaired throughout the night.

It is estimated to be finished during the early hours of Saturday morning.

With heavy delays in traffic, officials advise drivers to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
