The findings have been released in stages as different steps were completed in the process. The most recent information is linked here:

NTSB News Release, National Transportation Safety Board Office of Public Affairs: Load, Capacity Calculation Errors, Inadequate Peer Review Led to Pedestrian Bridge Collapse

There's no link to a full report because the report hasn't actually been published yet. This summary has been released in the public interest to document the key findings.

I'm astonished at the level of incompetence, omissions and neglect in this process. As a licensed engineer this one item (among 30 that will be included in the report) really jumps out at me:

Louis Berger was not qualified by the Florida Department of Transportation to conduct an independent peer review.

WTF? This sounds like the equivalent of an airline crash investigation where one of the key NTSB findings was that the pilot wasn't licensed to fly.
