Motorists are advised to select alternate routes to avoid the area until 11 a.m. The city closed the portion of Shirley Bridge Road located between Webb Bridge Road and Clipper Bay Drive due to a natural gas line break caused by contractors working in the area, according to an earlier alert issued by the city.
