Large covering falls onto Burlington Bristol Bridge

BURLINGTON, N.J. (WPVI) -- The Burlington Bristol Bridge was closed for a short time on Friday afternoon after a covering fell on the roadway.

The bridge commission said the temporary covering was put in place in preparation for a project on the bridge.

That covering came loose in wind, officials said.

The view from Chopper 6 showed that covering on the roadway and crews working to remove it.

Eventually, a truck was used to drag that covering off the bridge.

The bridge re-opened shortly after 4 p.m.
