ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The O’Rorke Bridge has reopened after being closed for hours.

The bridge crosses over the Genesee River, allowing traffic to move between Charlotte and Irondequoit. It closed around 9 p.m. on Thursday and reopened on Friday.

Both the Rochester and Irondequoit police departments closed off the bridge on Thursday night. News10NBC TODAY was live at the bridge on Friday morning and saw the gates that regulate traffic still down on either side.

A bell was also going off throughout the morning. Staff worked around-the-clock to get the bridge back in order.
