Liberty Road between St. Lukes Lane and Patterson Avenue was briefly closed when a bridge joint was struck by a plow, state highway officials said Saturday.
A joint between the bridge deck and surface pulled up when it was hit by a plow, said David Buck, spokesman with the State Highway Administration. He said crews have patched the area with a steel plate and reopened the road.
Buck said the damage was "a couple inch gap." He said crews would make a permanent repair in the future.
Baltimore County police had closed the road and previously said there had been structural damage, that allowed officers to "directly through the decking of the bridge down into the water." But Buck said the bridge remained structurally sound.
