Newport, TN (WOKI) Several roads in Newport are closed after a railroad trestle collapsed into the Pigeon River.
Newport Police say the trestle spanned the river, which saw major flooding when Hurricane Helene moved through East Tennessee. It marks the latest in a series of damages caused by the storm.
River Road, Liberty Alley and Jimtown Road at East Broadway are all closed.
No word if this collapse will affect Norfolk Southern’s schedule to re-open their routes.
