ATLANTIC CITY, NJ—The Atlantic City Police Department has announced that the Absecon Drawbridge, previously closed due to a malfunction, is now open. Earlier today, the bridge was shut down in both directions, affecting traffic on Route 30.
Motorists were advised to use alternative routes, including the Atlantic City Expressway or Route 40, to enter or exit Atlantic City.
Repair efforts were expected to take several hours, but the bridge has since been reopened to traffic, restoring normal flow in the area.
