Contract crews began this week removing the East Russell Street bridge heavily damaged by fire in downtown Fayetteville. A ruptured natural gas line sparked the fire about one year ago underneath the eastbound span over Blounts Creek. The N.C.

The westbound bridge at this same location was unaffected and has remained open.
