A fairly substantial bridge carrying I-95 over a river in Greenwich

I was over that bridge about an hour before it went down, couldn't
believe my ears when I heard the news in the morning.
That bridge failed more from engineering/design issues than it did
from deterioration. It was only about 30 years old at the time.
Again, those "issues" are usually the result of old bridges being re-
purposed and thus were never engineered to carry the traffic that they
are getting.
