No surprise, both companies have already shut down their websites.

That’s a damn shame. Figg replaced the collapsed I-35W bridge in Minneapolis about 10 years ago. No problems with that one that I know about.

Items of interest: “A 175-foot section of the overall 320-foot long bridge will be prefabricated adjacent to Southwest 8th Street on MMC and then moved into position in a single night so as to minimize traffic disruption to Southwest 8th Street.”

“This will be MCM’s first design-build project with FIGG Bridge Engineers, an award-winning Tallahassee-based firm. FIGG has designed bridges throughout the U.S., including the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge in Boston and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa Bay.”

Been trying to get onto the FIGG website but looks like it may be offline - wondering why. /s

Thanks for link. Halfway down: // The proposed MCM-FIGG bridge design includes a central support tower rising 108 feet above the road that will make the structure a landmark and a gateway for western Miami-Dade County. // So what (I wonder) happened to a center support?
