A bridge over the Mississippi River between Iowa and Wisconsin had been closed after being struck by a barge.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says the Highway 82
bridge at Lansing, Iowa, was reopened Sunday after being inspected for damange.

Motorists were being forced to cross the river at either La Crosse or
Prairie du Chien.

It's not clear why the barge hit the bridge Saturday evening.
