Traffic couldn’t cross the Bicentennial Bridge in Benton Harbor for several hours on Monday afternoon due to a mechanical issue. The Michigan Department of Transportation says a switch that determines whether the bridge is open or closed had to be fixed. When that switch isn’t working, the bridge isn’t working. MDOT had to bring in contractors to fix the issue. The birdge was back open to traffic before 5 p.m.
