BLACK ROCK, AR
(KAIT) – Some local drivers have feared that a bridge collapse like the one in
Washington State this week could happen closer to home.

People have been
particularly fearful of the aging Black River Bridge that connects Black Rock
and Portia on U.S. 63 in Lawrence County.

"I think that it's
in bad shape," said Aubrey Wilson of Cherokee Village.

Wilson and others have
found some comfort recently seeing the crews that have begun working on a new
bridge to span the river.
