Contract crews began this week removing the East Russell Street bridge heavily damaged by fire in downtown Fayetteville.
A ruptured natural gas line sparked the fire about one year ago underneath the eastbound span over Blounts Creek. The N.C. Department of Transportation barricaded the bridge after the fire bent the steel beams, buckled the deck and damaged the pavement.
