JACKSON — The state-owned Jackson Honeymoon Bridge was struck by a box truck last Thursday, causing minor damage, according to Jackson Police Chief Chris Perley and state Department of Transportation senor engineer Tim Boodey.

The 1876-built bridge remains open to traffic as the damage was cosmetic, with a trim piece taken off on the eastern side, according to police.
