It was a year in the making but the Fifth Street Bridge is open again in Chatham.
The bridge that runs over the Thames River officially re-opened for business Friday night at 6 o’clock.
There is one lane running in each direction for traffic, as well as pedestrian lanes on both sides of the bridge.
Things are not quite back to normal yet however as there will be ongoing work on the west side of the bridge for another few months.
That means more barriers and fencing.
