"Barge Collision Halts Traffic on Oklahoma Highway Bridge"

A barge collided with a bridge near the Kerr Lock & Dam in Sequoyah County, prompting the closure of US-59 while authorities assessed the bridge's condition. The Grand River Dam Authority and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation assisted in the inspection, and engineers later deemed the bridge safe for travel. No injuries were reported, and the highway has since reopened.
