The bridge was designed by FIGG Bridge Engineers and built by MCM. Barnhart Crane and Rigging operated the Self-Propelled Modular Transporters that placed the bridge on its permanent supports.
Apparently the bridge was to use some kind of new cement which “cleaned itself” and the bridge was designed to withstand a cat 5 hurricane and last more than 100 years.
I think someone got some splaining to do.
I doubt that FIGG is the one at fault here. They built the I-35W replacement bridge in Minneapolis, the new Jordan Bridge in the Virginia Tidewater area and the new Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Those are all still standing.
They installed it on Saturday. They probably figured things could wait til next week to put in the support cables. Bad guess, I guess.
