Yep, a downbound tow hit it. Out of 15 barges it came away with 1.
Last I saw, one loaded barge was sinking (presumably sunk now) but all the others were rounded up and cleared out. Think they got one other one that was sinking shoved to the bank.
Typically they’ll reopen pretty quick to road and rail traffic, but it might be a few days of inspection before they swing it again. Hard telling.
Barge hit a bridge at Ft. Madison?
