The Route 107 bridge over the river between Saugus and Lynn reopened ahead of schedule after closing due to emergency repairs earlier this week, transportation officials announced.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) said that crews had completed repairs and the bridge had fully reopened to traffic around noon on Friday. The temporary drawbridge closed on Wednesday night for emergency repairs after inspectors discovered cracking on the bridge’s deck panel assemblies, according to a MassDOT advisory.

The repairs came faster than expected. Transportation officials originally said the bridge would be closed “until further notice” and warned of “extended detours.”
