BLACK ROCK, AR (KAIT) – Drivers have likely noticed a lot of construction recently beside the Black River bridge at Black Rock. Walter McMillan, the Arkansas Highway & Transportation Department's district
Some local drivers have feared that a bridge collapse like the one in Washington State this week could happen closer to home. People have been particularly fearful of the aging Black River Bridge that connects Black Rock and Portia on U.S. 63 in Lawrence County.
Thousands of bridges around the U.S. may be one freak accident or mistake away from collapse, even if the spans are deemed structurally sound.

HUNTSVILLE, TX (AP) -
When Louisiana parole violator Donnie Lee Roberts was arrested for fatally shooting his girlfriend at her East Texas home nine years ago, the first thing he told police who questioned him was that he wanted the death penalty.
That's set to happen Wednesday.
The 41-year-old Roberts faces lethal injection in Huntsville for the slaying of 44-year-old Vicki Bowen. A co-worker who became concerned after the dental assistant failed to show up for work discovered her body at Bowen's home near Lake Livingston in Polk County. Roberts also confessed to another unsolved homicide in Louisiana committed 12 years earlier.
Evidence showed Roberts fled a Louisiana drug treatment program. He'd already been convicted of a robbery in Baton Rouge.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to review his case.
