A runaway barge moving down the Missouri River on Saturday evening struck the Ike Skelton Bridge on Missouri 13, causing minor damage.

The Missouri Highway Patrol closed the bridge for two hours but reopened it about 8 p.m.

The barge, origins unknown, continued down the river, Highway Patrol dispatchers said, before hanging up on a dyke east of Lexington before 9 p.m.
