Repairs on the damaged 3rd Street Bridge in San Francisco continued Wednesday, a day after the span sustained damage after being struck by two industrial barges that became unmoored during Tuesday's storm.
Officials said the drawbridge is open for crossings, but span lifts remain on hold pending further assessment by engineers.
The 3rd Street Bridge in San Francisco was closed to through traffic for several hours Tuesday after being struck by two industrial barges that came loose, according to San Francisco Department Public Works. The span -- also known as the Lefty O'Doul Bridge -- was struck by industrial barges that came loose in Mission Creek and collided with it during high winds and surf, SFDPW officials said.
