Pompano Beach is gearing up for the 50th annual boat parade.

City officials say drivers should be aware of road and bridge closures on Dec. 9 that will affect their travels. Several bridges will be locked in the "up" position during the parade, which runs from 6-10 p.m.

Drivers will be given alternate routes.

Broward Sheriff's Office deputies will be on hand to direct drivers and pedestrians during the event.
