Chatham-Kent police have issued a traffic advisory about the Fifth Street and Third Street bridges in Chatham.

Due to high Thames River levels, the Fifth Street Bridge is closed to remove debris blocking the flow of water, police said.

The bridge was expected to reopen at noon..

Shortly after, crews will clear debris near the Third Street Bridge, which is expected to take about three hours.

“Please plan accordingly and thank you for your patience,” police said.
