Arkansas Department of Transportation

The Arkansas Department of Transportation has adopted a recommendation from the Jonesboro City Council to reduce the speed limit on two major highways.

LITTLE ROCK Ark. (AP) - A crack in a steel beam that forced the closure of the Interstate 40 bridge connecting Arkansas and Tennessee for three months likely began when the span was fabricated in the 1970s and went undetected for years, a report by Arkansas' Transportation Department released Thursday said.

AR-DOT says that - in all - 47 Transpiration Alternatives Program projects and 12 Recreational Trails Program projects were funded statewide.

Department officials said they terminated the inspector Monday over his failure to notice damage to the Interstate 40 Mississippi River bridge during inspections one year apart, in Sept. of 2019 and 2020.

Work on the projects will start in February.
