I recall several previous building failures in Quebec including the Olympic stadium which needed extensive repairs.
Someone needs to check into their engineering, materials or workmanship...

According to news reports, concrete was seen on Highway 19 near the overpass around 11:30, and someone called 911 after seeing the overpass buckle (i guess that's what demarcation means) 2 inches or so while driving across the overpass shortly before it failed. The Quebec authorities had some notice that something was wrong and had a little bit of time to react.

Although who knows if this relates here, widespread public sector corruption has long been far more of an issue in Quebec than anywhere else in Canada.

Notwithstanding how Quebecers may feel about Stephen Harper & the Conservatives on any given issue from Afghanistan to the Gun Registry, if they're seen to be offering clean & fair government, it will go a long,long way in the next election.
