Union, AR. – A bridge along Highway 9 in Fulton County, AR. has been closed effective immediately after the results of a recent routine inspection. This announcement comes from the Arkansas Department of Transportation.
The bridge in question is the Markleroad Creek Bridge, roughly 1.5 miles North of Union along Arkansas Highway 9. Those who are travelling in the region are asked to use an appropriate detour. The suggested detour according to idrivearkansas.com is that travelers will use Highway 354 in Oxford connecting to Glencoe, then using Highway 412 that connects to Salem, AR.
Traffic is expected to be controlled via the application of barrels, message boards, and signs, and drivers should expect delays from both the detour and required safe driving practices while work is underway.
No estimated time of repair has been announced.
