The Foley Beach Express Toll Bridge is closed until further notice.
Around 2:30am a barge on the intracoastal waterway hit the safety barrier of the bridge and knocked out a 60 foot section.
Orange Beach City Administrator Ken Grimes says the safety barrier did what it was supposed to do and the bridge piling was not hit.

That will screw up a bunch of people.

Sure hope it opens back up before we have to evacuate for any reason. Nothing on the horizon right now, but you never know.
