The state transportation department said work is progressing on replacing the bridge on Highway 507 and may be completed this year.  Completion depends upon the weather.

Erin Buchanan of the transportation reports the bridge deck is being poured.  When that is finished, Buchanan said they will have the approach slabs and the barrier rails to go to complete the project.

Repairs are underway on two other bridges over Bee Branch Creek just north of Red River in Bienville parish.  The first site is just west of Morgan Road is almost completed.  Buchanan said when that one is done they will move on to the second bridge site between Bob Neal and Magnolia Roads.
