The City of Cotter has temporarily closed the blue foot bridge at Big Spring Park, the city announced on social media.
The bridge will remain closed until repairs can be made to address the erosion and washout areas on either end of the bridge, the city said.
“It’s nothing dangerous or that the bridge is unsafe. It’s just that you can’t take that chance as a city,” Mayor Mac Caradine said.
The bridge, which is owned by the City of Cotter, was closed late last week following the recommendation of personnel with the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission.
“We’re working with the AGFC right now to get it fixed,” Caradine said. “It’s our bridge, but Game and Fish controls what goes into the water. So we’re working with them to come up with a plan to get it repaired and back open.”
