Tower Bridge unstuck after hours of closure due to ‘motor malfunction’
The elevated section of the Tower Bridge is back in place after being stuck for several hours Tuesday morning during rush hour.
The bridge between Sacramento and West Sacramento has resumed operations, Caltrans said shortly before 11 a.m.
The bridge’s lift section had been stuck a few feet above the rest of the bridge since at least 8:45 a.m. with no vehicle traffic allowed to cross during peak commute hours.
Caltrans in a social media post said the closure was due to “motor malfunction.”
