Ice breaking on the Black River in Port Huron started today. The city moved the start back a day to give crews more preparation time. Drawbridges along Military, Seventh, and 10th Streets will lift as an ice-breaking tug heads from the river’s mouth to the I-94 bridge. Traffic will stop while the tug works through thick ice, and residents are urged to stay off the river. With temperatures climbing into the 60s this weekend, officials hope the effort helps prevent spring flooding.
