Barge Strike Halts Oklahoma Highway Traffic

A highway in Oklahoma has reopened after engineers inspected a bridge that was struck by a barge over the Arkansas River, south of Sallisaw. The Oklahoma State Patrol closed US-59, but the bridge was later cleared for traffic with no reported injuries. The cause of the barge striking the bridge remains unclear, while in Baltimore, cleanup efforts are underway after a cargo ship hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge earlier in the week.
