The Michigan Street bridge in downtown Buffalo is closed Thursday. City officials said the metal on the bridge expanded due to the heat, making it unable to go back down to its usual position.
Officials said the Edward M. Cotter fireboat is being used to spray water on the bridge in an effort to cool it down.
Temperatures in Buffalo are expected to reach around 90 degrees on Thursday, with heat index nearing triple digits.
