Part of Barnum Avenue
remains closed after officials say the roof of an abandoned church
collapsed Sunday.
Barnum Avenue, between
Mill Hill Avenue and Central Avenue, near Bridgeport Hospital
is closed.
The roof collapse happened Sunday just before 5 p.m.
Officials say they
received multiple 911 calls reporting the collapse at True Pentecostal Church.
When fire crews arrived, they determined no one was inside.
Officials
say portions of the collapse impacted a nearby building, but there was no
structural damage to it.
The
Building Department has been notified. The stretch of road will remain closed until the church is demolished.
