The driver then drove over the bridge as it went up, with all four tires leaving the ground as it crossed the gap. According to police, the driver also burst through the traffic arms on the other side of the bridge.

Police said both sets of traffic weapons needed to be replaced.

No arrests have been made since Thursday.
