Oversized truck suspected of damaging Highway 115 bridge

CANON CITY, Colo. (KKTV) - A major thoroughfare in Fremont County is back open after a bridge sustained damage Saturday evening.

Colorado State Patrol tweeted just before 6 p.m. Saturday that the Highway 115 bridge was closed at Highway 50 after something hit the bridge and knocked off chunks of concrete the size of baseballs. A Colorado Department of Transportation crew was sent to the site to inspect the damage

The Highway 115 Bridge over Highway 50 is closed at Penrose to all H115 and H50 traffic. We suspect it was hit by an oversized semi. Concrete chucks the size of baseballs have fallen on the highway. CDOT is enroute to ensure the bridge is safe for highway traffic.
