Evacuation order lifted, bridges reopen
October 10, 2024 - Pinellas County has lifted the mandatory evacuation order for zones A, B, C, and mobile homes ahead of Hurricane Milton. Bridges to the barrier islands have also reopened, though many areas remain without power or water, and some roads are still blocked by debris. Officials urge residents to avoid unnecessary travel due to road hazards and power outages at intersections. Crews can restore services more quickly if roads remain clear. Access to Pinellas County is open, including both directions of the Howard Frankland Bridge. For updates on other bridges, visit fl511.com.
