American actor Will Smith returns in one of his best-known roles, alongside comedian Martin Lawrence to continue a saga that began almost 30 years ago: Bad Boys.
The fourth installment of the saga, which began in 1995, but which made its triumphant return with a third part in 2020, began filming in Miami, so several streets in the city had to close to allow filming.
This Monday, in Fort Lauderdale, some streets were closed from 6:00 am to noon due to filming, causing inconvenience to residents, who had to find other routes to their destinations.
Miami authorities also reported this Monday about future closures in the city due to the recordings, so we recommend taking precautions.
This Wednesday, February 28, the easternmost lane of Brickell Avenue, between 13th and 14th Streets, will be closed from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Also this Friday, March 1, Southwest 2nd Avenue and 2nd Street will be affected with closures scheduled from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Likewise, on March 2 and 3, the Southwest 2nd Avenue bridge, between 3rd and 8th streets, will be closed from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm.
These street closures are in place to allow the production team of Bad Boys 4 carry out the assembly of all your equipment and the filming of your scenes safely and effectively, so Miami police ask people to look for alternative means.

To the saga of Bad Boys tells the story of police detectives Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence), who have adventures full of action and comedy breaking the rules of conventional police.
The project was a success from the beginning, but it has been cooked “on a slow fire”, starting with Bad Boys in 1995, directed by Michael Bay, and waiting eight years for the second part, Bad Boys II in 2003, and then 17 more years to continue the franchise with Bad Boys for lifein 2020.
The three installments have been praised for their well-achieved mix of action and humor, with great chemistry between their protagonists. The portion that is currently being filmed promises to maintain the tradition that has defined these films.
Meanwhile, Will Smith’s social networks have been full of content about his days in Miami and filming, in addition to him being seen greeting soccer players Leonel Messi and David Beckham.
