Lift Bridge Update
[Duluth, MN] Natural deicing took place on the Aerial Lift Bridge today as a result from the sun and warm temperatures. Falling ice posed a safety hazard for workers deicing the bridge who were then called off. A test lift was attempted and the bridge motors are still drawing too many amps due to the excessive weight. Ice removal will continue tomorrow in an effort to make the bridge operable once again. Traffic will not be effected from this work.
