Plans for permanent repairs are being finalized and more information will be provided as soon as available, officials say.
Workers completed emergency repairs to the bridge at about 10 a.m. today. Crews installed reinforcements to the bridge, which remains closed and should not be used by pedestrians or vehicles until permanent repairs can be made.
The crash, which took place about 7:25 a.m. Tuesday, involved an 18-wheeler and three other vehicles. The crash set the load of wood alight. The impact, coupled with the intense heat from the fire, caused major damage to the South Perry Street Bridge and its support, causing the closure of the southbound highway and the overhead bridge.
