Tacony-Palmyra Bridge reopens to traffic after being hit by cargo ship


The Tacony-Palmyra Bridge reopened to traffic Thursday evening after being struck by a cargo ship and was closed for hours, officials said.

The bridge that connects Philadelphia and Burlington County, New Jersey, was open for vessel passage when a boat struck it around 1:15 p.m., according to the Delaware Bay Coast Guard.

Officials said two lanes, one in each direction, were reopened to traffic around 8:40 p.m. They said one lane remained closed due to repairs to the pedestrian sidewalk.

No one was injured, according to a Burlington County spokesperson.
