I think I see the problem.

“Hicks suspects there may have been something under the bridge that let go which caused the collapse.”
That kind of cogent engineering analysis is something we should teach in school.
To: Gamecock
that looks like really crappy construction, sheeze, seriouisly that’s horrible
To: Gamecock
Wasn’t even under load...
Is it my imagination,
or did the left pylon supports “settle”?
To: Gamecock
I want to hear the condemnation of the engineers who built this bridge....heard it about the Florida bridge collapse...

In spite of the damage, that bridge doesn’t look new.

Hicks suspects there may have been something under the bridge that let go which caused the collapse.
Maybe the Troll left who was holding the bridge up.
BTW that bridge looks sketchy to begin with.
Designed and built by the Larry, Moe & Curly Construction company.

I bet The Bandit could jump that Bridge from the far side.
Looks like the Supports on one side sank into the River.

Let me guess, it was named the Ted Kennedy Memorial Bridge.

Wow. That’s a new bridge? That is as shoddy a design and construction effort as I’ve ever seen.

Two-thirds of it looks fine :-)

Looks like the piers settled. They evidently didn’t drive them deep enough.

My guess is that since there was an old bridge there previously that they simply reused the old footings, and possibly the supports,and put a new, heavier bridge deck across the span. The footings on one end sank which opened a gap too wide for the span. The X bracing on one set of supports are submerged while the other is well above water. Looks like a difference of around 4 feet. Kinda looks like it fell on a boat?

That’s some rikity looking work

They should have used pine. Pine is good.
To: Gamecock
Certainly, it was quality work.
