Grand Forks Bridge

NPR's Don Gonyea reports on this morning's reopening of a main bridge linking Grand Forks, North Dakota with East Grand Forks, Minnesota. The bridge had been closed since April 18 and its closing meant a drive of more than 150 miles just to get across the Red River. Many people who had been trapped on one side of the river were reunited with their families and co-workers today.
