The 10th Street bridge in Port Huron is functioning again and has reopened to vehicle traffic. Port Huron Director of Public Works Eric Witter believes the issue could be related to a nearby lightning strike that occurred Saturday night. The lightning strike also affected the traffic signal at 10th and Glenwood Avenue. Contractors were able to repair the issue and the bridge reopened to vehicle traffic Monday afternoon.
