Multiple Bridge Closures in US and UK for Repairs and Safety

Several bridge and road closures are currently impacting traffic in different regions due to repairs and safety concerns. In Clarksburg, West Virginia, a lane on a Glen Elk bridge will remain closed with 24/7 temporary traffic signals until late summer, causing expected delays and suggesting alternate routes. Near Fields Creek Road in Chesapeake, West Virginia, a coal truck accident led to road closure due to downed power lines, although the driver was unharmed. North Yorkshire's A19 Selby Toll Swing Bridge will be closed nightly for up to four days for essential steelwork repairs, with diversions in place. In Columbia, South Carolina, a significant structural failure caused the closure of the Woodcreek Farms Road bridge over Spears Creek, with repairs or replacement expected to take an extended period due to complex permitting processes linked to the bridge's floodway location. These closures reflect ongoing infrastructure challenges requiring careful management to ensure public safety and minimize disruption.
