Stillwater Bridge Stuck In Down Position

STILLWATER, Minn. (WCCO) -- Water traffic was brought to a halt after the Stillwater Lift Bridge got stuck in the down position Friday morning.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation said that the lift bridge was stuck because of a tree jam.

The bridge was working again before noon, officials say.

Water vehicles were prohibited from passing under the bridge, but motorists were told by MnDOT that they could still cross the bridge.
