Fresh Creek Bridge Closure Cuts Central Andros Road Link
The Fresh Creek Bridge was condemned after a structural failure, severing Central Andros’ main road to the airport and government offices. Travelers now must arrange separate vehicles on each side and cross by small boat until a temporary or ferry solution is in place. Plan your itinerary accordingly and check with your lodge for updated transport options.
