MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Officials say a railroad bridge spanning the Mississippi River has reopened after it was closed when a barge struck it.

According to The Commercial Appeal (https://bit.ly/1gWL0YT), Union Pacific railroad officials said Monday that the Harahan Bridge was open again after closing Sunday night.

About three miles of the river was closed for about a half-hour Sunday night after the barge hit the railroad bridge supports.

The bridge connects Memphis and West Memphis, Ark.
