Fifth Street bridge re-opens at 6 p.m. tonight

The long wait for the Fifth Street bridge to re-open ends tonight at 6 p.m. The bridge was first scheduled to re-open last December.

There will be one lane of traffic open in each direction and pedestrians have access on both sides of the bridge.

There will be barriers and construction fencing along the west side of the bridge due to ongoing utility work. They will be removed later this year.
