Newly released public records identify the Arkansas bridge inspector who was fired after state officials said he missed a critical crack on the Hernando De Soto bridge, and a document says he failed to get close enough to assess a key spot in the structure.
Monty Frazier was team leader on Arkansas Department of Transportation reviews of the bridge in September 2019 and September 2020, newly released records say.
On May 11, another inspection team led by outside consultants found a badly cracked girder on the bridge. Since that day, the bridge has been shut down to vehicle traffic and a massive repair effort is underway. The situation raises the question of why the crack was not found during earlier inspections conducted by ARDOT.
