Motorists needing to get home by using Park Bridge Parkway may need to access it via Old Milton Parkway. And those residents needing to reach Shirley Bridge Road may need to turn north onto Lake Windward Parkway and right onto Clipper Bay Drive if the intersection is still closed. From the east, taking Jones Bridge to Douglas Road, and then using the roundabout to head west on Southlake Drive will get motorists into those neighborhoods and avoiding the detour.
