The entire south side of the bridge will be closed for one hour on Saturday so cyclists and walkers can make their journey.  The closure begins at 9 a.m.

The event will be preceded by a bicycle ride from Miami's Bayfront Park to the bridge. Cyclists will gather at the south end of the park at 8:30 a.m. and start riding at 8:45 a.m.
