Thousands of people must find alternate routes in and out of downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock due to the upcoming closure of a 93-year-old bridge.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that the Broadway Bridge will close Wednesday to the 25,000 vehicles that use it to cross the Arkansas River each day.
The old bridge, which was dedicated to World War I soldiers when it opened in 1923, will be replaced with a new bridge. There will be a decommissioning ceremony held on Wednesday.
The cost of the bridge project is $98.4 million.
