Pedestrians waiting to cross the Brickell Avenue bridge appeared to have no patience this past weekend, storming past protection barriers, according to a video posted to the Only In Dade Twitter account this weekend.
The social media account wrote that the incident occurred while crowds were leaving Ultra Music Festival.
In the southbound lanes, pedestrians can be seen jumping from the still raised portion of the bascule bridge to the already lowered section
Pedestrians also began to walk on the raised northbound lane while it was still being lowered.
The Brickell bascule bridge is said to be raised around 5,000 times per year, for around 5 to 10 minutes at a time. That would equate to around 14 times per day, or an average of an hour or two daily.
