HUNTINGTON Ƶ In what will come as a relief to Lawrence County residents, business owners and first responders, a month-long inspection is complete on the 31st Street Bridge in east Huntington and both lanes have reopened.

Contractors had been inspecting suspension cables on the bridge, which connects Huntington to Proctorville, Ohio, since Nov. 4. The West Virginia Department of Transportation said Wednesday morning the inspection led to Ƶminor repairs.Ƶ
