DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Officials in Volusia County said some bridges to the beaches are reopening after being closed as Hurricane Matthew approached.
But officials warned that police will be "using discretion" in allowing access to the areas hit by the storm.
A news release from Volusia County's Community Information team on Saturday morning said that in Daytona Beach, the following streets opened at 7 a.m only to residents: Seabreeze, Main Street and International Speedway Boulevard. Residents will have to show a valid identification for access.
The main causeway in New Smyrna Beach was reopened Saturday. But the SunGlow Fishing Pier was damaged during the storm.
