Bridge on highway collapsed, UNKNOWN cause, unknown number of dead/injuried.
Sounds like the Highway I-70 and C-470 bridge, this is in Colarado and I think near Denver.
There was trouble on I-70 yesterday too........
Motorist injured in pile-up on I-70
Published Saturday, May 15, 2004
Six vehicles were involved yesterday in a traffic pile-up on Interstate 70 near the Perche Creek bridge.
Only one person involved in the wreck needed medical treatment, and that was for minor injuries, said Cpl. Mark Wilson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The noon wreck occurred after an eastbound Chevy Trailblazer spun out of control just west of the bridge. As nearby traffic slowed, a dump truck struck a Jeep Grand Cherokee from behind. Three other vehicles were involved in chain-reaction collisions.
Wilson declined yesterday to provide the name of the 37-year-old injured Columbia motorist.

Junction construction to close part of I-70
By The Denver Post
State transportation officials plan to close eastbound and westbound Interstate 70 between the Morrison exit and West Sixth Avenue on Sunday and Monday nights from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. The shutdown will allow workers to place bridge girders at the I-70/C-470 junction. The work had been scheduled last week but was postponed because of the weather.
During the closure, motorists traveling east on I-70 will exit at Genesee Park, take U.S. 40 east and return to I-70 at the Colfax Avenue/I-70 interchange. Westbound I-70 motorists will exit at Colfax during the closures and take U.S. 40 to the Morrison exit, officials said.
On Tuesday and Wednesday nights, also from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., only westbound I-70 will be closed so workers can finish the girder placement. The same alternate routing for westbound traffic will prevail.
They need to check that construction crew for muslims. /no sarcasm
