flcruiser3 Posted October 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Does anyone who has been to Curaçao recently know if the bridge is back open? I understand that it was closed for construction recently. Also, does anyone know if you are allowed to push a manual wheelchair across the bridge? Thanks!

flcruiser3 Posted October 26, 2015 Author #2 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Bump Trying to find out if the bridge is back open and if it is wheelchair accessible. We have had a tough time getting my son on and off boats in the past, so I don't think that the free ferry will be a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted October 30, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Someone on my roll call posted today that it's supposed to be open by the end of this week. We'll be there in early Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flcruiser3 Posted October 30, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks BND! If you think about it, can you confirm that it is open after your visit in December? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted October 30, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I did read the date of the bridges closure and scheduled reopening but can't find it now. There was an article in the local paper. As for the wheelchair question I have pushed Dudette in her wheelchair a number of times over the bridge, both sides of the town are very accessible.
