The bridge that usually provides a shortcut across the Universal Studios Florida lagoon from Springfield to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is currently closed for refurbishment.
Universal Studios Florida Bridge Refurbishment
The Springfield end of the bridge has been partially dismantled down to its basic structure. A walkway of plywood for crew members is across the framework, with caution tape supported by wooden sticks along the sides. Construction walls block guest access to both ends of the bridge.
The faux stone lower half of the bridge is still in place. Judging by the marks on the stones, the water has been partially drained from the lagoon, likely to accommodate construction.
There is scaffolding and scrim below the center part of the bridge. This area’s green railings are still intact.
However, its flooring has also been removed. Two columns have also been removed from the ends of one railing. There is a tall section of scaffolding on the side of the bridge closest to Men in Black: Alien Attack.
The flooring and railings are also gone from the Wizarding World end of the bridge. Guests can still travel between Springfield and the Wizarding World by walking past Men in Black.
