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.

NORTH VERNON, Ind. (AP) - An Indiana woman who wanted to honor her late husband with a headstone that captured his interests in sports and the outdoors is suing a Catholic church for refusing to install it.
Shannon Carr spent $9,600 on the black granite headstone to mark the grave of her husband, Jason Carr, who died in a 2009 automobile accident. The headstone is shaped like a couch and features images of a deer, a dog and color logos of NASCAR and the Indianapolis Colts.
The Republic newspaper says the Rev. Jonathan Meyer of St. Joseph Catholic Church in North Vernon, Ind., notified the monument maker that the headstone didn't meet the cemetery's standards and couldn't be placed in the church's century-old graveyard.
But Carr says in her lawsuit that Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis Properties, which owns the cemetery, never produced any regulations for the plot until more than a year after she tried to have the headstone installed in 2010.
