DEARBORN, Mich.--Ford Motor Co. (F) employees who work at the auto maker's headquarters faced a difficult commute Friday after a bridge collapse closed part of a major freeway in the area.

A pedestrian bridge spanning the M-39 freeway--also known as the Southfield Freeway--collapsed during the early-morning hours, closing part of the roadway in both directions. Television reports say only one person suffered minor injuries.

The freeway is a major north-south artery used by Ford workers to get to the auto maker's headquarters located less than a mile from the collapse site.

Television reports show traffic backups in several directions as motorists look to route themselves around the area.
