FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A drawbridge with some mechanical problems caused an hours-long detour for drivers in Fort Lauderdale.
The 17th Street Causeway bridge, linking Seabreeze Boulevard to the mainland, malfunctioned and was stuck in a semi-upright position in both directions, Wednesday afternoon.
Fort Lauderdale Public Safety officials were at the scene blocking the road and redirecting traffic.
A maintenance crew responded and made repairs. Just before 10 p.m., the bridge reopened to traffic.
