Davis County commuters who routinely use the Shepard Lane bridge over I-15 in Farmington will need to take a detour over the next year.
The Farmington Bridge in Tunica County, Mississippi, has been permanently closed due to safety concerns, as announced by the Tunica County Board of Supervisors. The bridge, which spans the Mississippi River and connects to Arkansas, was shut down after an inspection revealed significant structural issues that could not be economically repaired. This closure has significant implications for local traffic and commerce, as the bridge was a vital link for residents and businesses in the area. The board is now working on finding alternative routes and solutions to mitigate the impact on the community.
