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.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A bill introduced in the U.S. House would protect conscience rights that backers say are threatened by the new health care law.
The Health Care Conscience Rights Act would exempt employers from providing contraceptives or other services for which they have a religious or moral objection. Supporters say it would prevent the government from forcing health care providers to be complicit in abortion. Those alleging conscience rights violations would be able to sue.
The bill's sponsor, Congresswoman Diane Black, R-Tenn., is a nurse. She was joined by other women in health care and business who said obeying their consciences shouldn't subject them to crippling fines and penalties.
Black would like the bill's conscience protections to be attached to the budget measure that Congress must pass this month to keep the government running.
