A bridge in Glasgow reopened Tuesday after being shut down for inspection.
According to a Monday night Facebook post from Howard County Joint Communications, the Missouri Department of Transportation closed the Missouri River bridge on Highway 240 to investigate possible damage to the bridge caused by two loose barges hitting a pillar on an adjacent railroad bridge.
The bridge reopened Tuesday morning after an inspection that cleared it to carry traffic, MoDOT spokeswoman Marcia Johnson said. She did not know whether the bridge suffered any damage.
