PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) -- The Memorial Bridge connecting Portsmouth, N.H., to Kittery, Maine, has reopened to motor vehicle traffic after some repairs have been made. It had been closed since Oct. 16.

The bridge over the Piscataqua River has posted a three-ton weight limit, effectively banning all vehicles except cars and pickup trucks.

Cianbro Corp. of Pittsfield, Maine was the contractor for the $148,500 project. The repair costs are being shared equally by New Hampshire and Maine.
