OCEAN CITY, Md.- Overnight closures on the the Rt. 50 drawbridge in Ocean City lasted a little longer than expected Wednesday morning. The drawbridge got stuck in the open position, causing the previously advertised closure to extend well past the 6 a.m. expected finish.
A look at the Maryland State Highway Administration's traffic camera at the bridge showed the bridge still partially open around 7 a.m. Wednesday with S.H.A. trucks parked at the opening. SHA spokesman Bob Rager said crews were working to fix the problem.
The issue was resolved just before 8 a.m. with the bridge reopened to traffic shortly thereafter.
The overnight work was not on the actually opening mechanism of the bridge. It was to repair cracks in the bridge's beams.
