Water flows Friday, May 26, 2023, through a low-water bridge on Ball Street in Johnson. The bridge is in poor condition and crosses Clear Creek which regularly floods, forcing the bridge to be closed. The city applied for and was accepted into the Local Bridge Program by the Arkansas Department of Transportation and will be getting a new bridge in the next year or so, according to Mayor Chris Keeney.
