QuoteJACKSONVILLE, Fla. -

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office bomb squad was called to the Main Street Bridge on Tuesday afternoon.

Police said Interstate 95 southbound at the Main Street Bridge and Prudential Drive onramp will be closed until 5 p.m.

No other information was immediately available.

Can anyone see the bridge right now?

I think there's some "wooded area" across Prudential Drive from Treaty Oak Park ... either that or things are getting out of hand at the TPO (on the other side of Main).

Update from WOKV ( http://www.wokv.com/news/news/local/meth-site/nYkHp/ )

QuoteInformation is just coming in, but discovery of a meth cooking site near the Main Street bridge has resulted in the temporary closure traffic lanes.

Police found two people cooking meth in a wooded area near Main Street and Prudential Drive in downtown Jacksonville and and called in the bomb squad and hazmat teams.

The discovery is causing diversion of traffic onto Prudential drive for safety reasons and air quality, and drivers should either use the Acosta bridge exit, or avoid the area if possible.

Two men are reported to be custody, but charges are yet unknown.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says it is strange to have this occur, as they've not found a meth lab in that particular area before.

That's not good, but I'm glad it wasn't something more serious.
