Well, there was a waterway to be crossed as well.

We still don’t know the proximate cause for the failure. The cable support column had to be constructed after the spans were inplace.

Aside from the error that resulted in failure, the primary error seems to be allowing traffic while work was in progress

That makes zero sense!

It should be the very first thing that was built.

O really?

How about total incompetence from start to finish!

From the beginning this project had -99% chance of success.
