Motorists now have an easier time getting on and off the island following a temporary change in the operating schedule for the Flagler Memorial Bridge. In an effort to ease rush hour traffic, the U.S. Coast Guard has reduced the number of bridge openings from two per hour, to one per hour on weekdays between 7:30 and 9 a.m. and 4 and 6 p.m. During those times, the bridge will open on the quarter hour, according to a notice posted July 31 on the Federal Register , the official journal of the U.S.
