A temporary inconvenience is coming for motorists who travel near the Bong Bridge.

Strong winds from the winter storm knocked over a light pole on the Bong Bridge on Wednesday, causing a disruption to traffic.

The pilot and only person in a small plane that crashed in Duluth last Friday was an engineer at Cirrus.

A man was trying to get his dog to a much-needed vet appointment during today's storm. He never expected this to happen.

Accidents on both the Blatnik and Bong Bridges during Monday's evening commute temporarily closed lanes of traffic.

Recent lane closures have meant most traffic has been routed to Superior over the Bong Bridge.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation is advising no travel on either the Blatnik Bridge or Bong Bridge as well as all major highways around the area Thursday evening.

The Bong Bridge Inspections started this am and will continue for a few weeks.

For commuters on the Bong Bridge, expect some delays through the month of September as crews will be conducting bridge maintenance through the month of September.

For anyone that uses the Blatnik Bridge to travel between Duluth and Superior, you should look for an alternative route starting August 22. A scheduled repair project to the bridge is set to begin on Monday, August 22 that will have a significant impact on traffic into October.

Eastbound lanes on the Bong Bridge have been closed, but the bridge is scheduled to reopen on Halloween with some changes.
