Fort Walton Beach Bankruptcy Law Firm is Highlighting the Bridge Closure Effects on Businesses

Fort Walton Beach, Fla. - Hurricane Sally ripped through the Pensacola area during early September, resulting in the Pensacola Bay Bridge being hit by a large barge, inevitably rendering the bridge undrivable for many months to come. A Fort Walton Beach bankruptcy law firm, Lewis and Jurnovoy, anticipates a heart-breaking loss for Gulf Breeze businesses, which may lead to bankruptcy in numerous cases.

At least 60,000 vehicles generally cross the Pensacola Bay Bridge daily, providing a stable flow for surrounding businesses. The bridge closure has stopped traffic in the area, preventing locals and tourists from easily using the services of the businesses in the area. Likely, many Gulf Breeze businesses will declare bankruptcy to lighten monetary pressures brought on by the bridge closure and absence of regular customers. When a company files for bankruptcy, the type of corporation it is and the type of bankruptcy they are filing for will determine whether the company can stay in business post-filing.

The only option for many of the businesses in the location will be bankruptcy, due to the bridge being out of commission for six months or more. Many in the area are hoping to support Gulf Breeze businesses by organizing events and choosing to shop in Gulf Breeze consistently for necessities. The locals know that Gulf Breeze may have a completely new look once the bridge reopens.
