In response to "I am going to be interested in the final report, as I am curious if it was design or build at fault -- nm" by crash davis

Pure speculation on my part

the fact that this collapsed before it was open to the public

and potentially during a stress test with vehicles driving underneath it

makes it much more likely that the build was at fault.



You would not believe the number of redundancies and conservative estimates included in bridge design these days. You have to almost go out of your way to screw up. Many of them are WAY over-designed.
