The Interstate 244 bridge over Mingo Road in Tulsa appears to be crumbling.

The two inside westbound lanes of I-244 are closed and the northbound lanes of Mingo under the bridge are completely shut down. There is about a four-foot hole in the bridge.

A Tulsa Fire truck was returning from a call when the driver noticed debris all over the road. A Tulsa Police officer was behind the engine. They were able to shut down the lanes immediately.

A dump truck with its bed raised, hit a nearby bridge last Thursday. It damaged that bridge forcing state transportation officials to shut down the outside eastbound lane of I-244 in the same area as Thursday's incident.
