City officials: Careful crossing, standing near Aerial Lift Bridge

DULUTH, MN -- Duluth officials say the warmer temperatures and sunlight are causing large amounts of ice to fall off the Aerial Lift Bridge Wednesday.

Anyone walking, biking, or driving across the bridge, or located near the bridge, is asked to use caution.

Residents are also being asked to avoid crossing or being near the bridge until later in the day.

Officials say the sidewalk located on the east side of the bridge is still closed out of precaution.
