Employee fired after a failure in the inspection process allowed evidence of damage to the I-40 Bridge to go unnoticed
The agency announced the findings Monday in a news release, saying drone video showed evidence of the fracture in the Hernando de Soto Bridge in May of 2019 but the person responsible for inspecting it didn't properly carry out their duties. "The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) has confirmed that there was a failure in the inspection process which allowed evidence of damage to the I-40 Mississippi River Bridge to go unnoticed," ARDOT said in the release.More Related News
