The Bossier Parish Police Jury has announced the immediate closure of the Atkins Clark
Bridge, located 1000 feet east of Highway 71 in South Bossier Parish, due to structural
sinkage. This closure will affect local traffic, with residents and other vehicles being
redirected to alternative routes to reach their destinations. Authorities have confirmed that
the bridge will remain closed indefinitely.
“We understand the inconvenience this closure will cause, but the safety of our residents
is our top priority,” said Parish Engineer Eric Hudson. “We are working diligently to
assess the situation and will provide updates as soon as possible.”
