The West Fork Red River Bridge on I-24 in Christian County is in need of emergency repairs, so lane restrictions are now in place in that area.
According to a news release, crews discovered concrete that came loose from the bridge Thursday morning that required immediate attention. The eastbound lane restriction of I-24 will be closed starting Thursday and will continue through the weekend.
Crews are preparing the site for the concrete pour on Friday morning.
A que warning system is already installed for the construction project that is currently underway and motorists are encouraged to reduce their speed and anticipate stop and go traffic flows. Seek alternate routes when possible.
