North Landing Bridge has been under single span operation and electrical repairs due to flooding for a number of days. Fortunately, cruisers have early morning and evening daylight hours to work around these two total closures. The needed repairs have required flexibility on our part, so stay tuned for additional needed closures. See Emergency Repairs. Our thanks to Matt the Bridge Tender for this update.
