SIMPSON BAY--Simpson Bay Lagoon Authority has advised motorists, in connection with the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta activities in the Simpson Bay area during the next few days, to avoid passing through Simpson Bay if heading to the Airport/Maho/Beacon Hill/Lowlands areas and to use the causeway bridge instead if heading to Cole Bay/Philipsburg. This will help reduce traffic congestion in the Simpson Bay area.
Additional bridge openings accommodate Regatta traffic
