Bridge on Fire -- St. Louis, MO

 #526157  by Mike Walsh
 
Apparently the McArthur Bridge, which TRRA owns and operates across the Mississippi River had a small fire this morning. I'm not sure what the situation is now, but apparently there was a fire reported on the bridge at 0745hrs this morning. The following link has a VERY short story and probably a few mins' worth of footage from the chopper.

Hopefully they get it resolved quickly -- the bridge is a major pathway into IL. If they havent already, trains are probably detouring on the NS and across into IL north of St. Louis
