The Arkansas Department of Transportation has closed a bridge over the St. Francis River in Cross County. (Wynne Progress)
ARDOT ordered the bridge, located on County Road 814, to be closed immediately on Friday (2/21) following an inspection.
ARDOT engineers said the bridge is currently unsafe to the traveling public due to a number of deficiencies. Those include severe section loss in the steel-shell piles of the bridge with the steel shell completely missing in some areas. There is also no reinforcement in the concrete inside the steel shells.
ARDOT ordered that barriers be installed to prevent traffic from crossing the bridge.
The bridge will remain closed to traffic until the matter can be addressed.
