Michigan Avenue Bridge Stuck In Raised Position

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The drawbridge over the Chicago River at Michigan Avenue became stuck after being raised to allow boats to pass.

City officials said there may be some sort of electrical issue in the area that left the bridge span stuck.

The bridge was raised around 10 a.m. Wednesday and was back down around noon and traffic was moving over the river.

CTA was forced to reroute several buses-- 3, 146, 147, 151, and 157.
