TL;DR Summary

The Oklahoma State Patrol closed a highway south of Sallisaw after a barge struck a bridge over the Arkansas River, diverting traffic from the area. The bridge will remain closed until it can be inspected, and there were no reports of injuries on the highway or the barge. The cause of the barge hitting the bridge is not immediately known. This incident comes as engineers work to lift a section of twisted steel from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland after a cargo ship crashed into one of its main supports.
