The Centerville Turnpike Bridge has had its fair share of misfortune recently.

the bridge was hit by a barge in November 2020, which causes it to become stuck in the open position. The bridge reopened in early May after repairs.

The bridge was also closed for repairs for six months before the barge incident, from October 2019 to February 2020.
