Just heard that it was designed to withstand a Cat 5 hurricane and last for at least 100 years. It was pre-stressed to handle enormous loads. It lasted one day. Engineering screw up? Construction screw up? 7 people are dead ... more injured. ... And it’s claim is to be a “feat of engineering?” My wife's bet is they guess wrong about how cold it is here and they tried to put a load on green* concrete. (*not properly cured) One news report I heard was that they were doing stress tests on it. Kinda dumb with heavy traffic driving under it. I didn't hear about any equipment on the bridge. I saw that they were built off-site and set into place in sections. |
