POMEROY - The Pomeroy-Mason bridge was closed Saturday afternoon after being struck by a barge.
According to the Ohio Department of Transportation, the barge detached from a towboat and drifted into the bridge.
It appeared the bridge only received a glancing blow and there was no major damage, but to be safe the bridge was closed until it could be properly inspected.
Once the inspectors are positive no severe damage occurred, the bridge will be reopened.
