Photos in the news for January

Single digit temperatures chilled the region in January, leaving this large culvert on West Clay Street in Piggott frozen solid.

Not an easy picture to take. A semi truck drives across the narrow bridges over the Cache River north of Hooker. The span pictured was built in 1929, and officials hope to bid the project to replace it by October.
