Road Closures, Service Disruptions Hit Multiple States

Road closures and service disruptions are affecting communities across the U.S. due to a combination of emergency incidents and planned infrastructure work. In Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania, overnight closures on Route 143 for a bridge replacement have been postponed due to weather, with detours now planned for midweek. Jackson County, Mississippi, will close the Tanner Williams Road Bridge after severe rust was discovered, impacting roughly 1,000 daily drivers and local agriculture, with replacement costs estimated at $9.2 million. Springfield, Missouri, is closing several streets for ADA sidewalk and crosswalk improvements, with work expected to be completed by 2027. Emergency closures remain active in Morganton, North Carolina, due to a major water main break, and in Westport, Connecticut, where Riverside Avenue is closed for gas line repairs. Authorities urge motorists to avoid affected areas and follow designated detours.
