The first raising of the bridge begins at 10 p.m.

Here’s more in a statement from transportation officials.

The Woodrow Wilson Bridge will be conducting monthly maintenance openings on Thursday December 6th & 7th. The first opening is at 10:00 pm on Thursday night December 6th. The openings are scheduled to run through Friday morning December 7th until 2:00 am. The bridge will be in the upright position at multiple points during the night for maintenance; traffic will not be able to cross the bridge when the bridge is in the upright position.
