After sitting in traffic for hours, the Delaware Memorial Bridge is back open this morning.
Delaware Department of Transportation officials said the bridge was shut down in both directions on Sunday because of a gas leak. The leak came from a chemical production facility in nearby New Castle, Delaware.
