La. 182 bridge closed after load of concrete hits rail

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development was on the scene late Sunday afternoon, after a truck pulling a trailer full of concrete hit a rail on the La. 182 bridge over Berwick. The crash forced the closure of the La. 182 bridge in both directions, knocked down a section of concrete guard rail and dropped pieces of concrete on a building below on Berwick's Third Street. No injuries were reported. Berwick police reported at 5:15 p.m. Sunday that the bridge will remain closed through the night, and the DOTD will begin work on a temporary rail Monday.
