Universal Studios Florida Lagoon Bridge Refurbishment Underway

A major pathway at Universal Studios Florida is currently out of commission as refurbishment continues on the lagoon bridge connecting Springfield to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley. The bridge, which normally provides a convenient shortcut across the park’s central lagoon, has been completely stripped down to its structural framework and is now in the process of being rebuilt.

During a recent visit we snagged these photos which show the bridge with all of its decking removed, scaffolding installed along the sides and underneath, and work crews focusing on structural repairs. Wooden planks and construction equipment are positioned at both ends of the bridge, while sections of the water below are cordoned off with floating barriers.

Once complete, the refreshed bridge will once again allow guests to bypass the longer waterfront loop through the New York and San Francisco areas, making for a faster route between two of the park’s most popular lands.

No official reopening date has been announced, but given the extent of the work, it’s likely the bridge will remain closed for a little while longer. For now, guests should plan on taking alternate routes around the lagoon.
