NTSB: Bridge Contractor Had Prior I-35W Experience
The contractor hired to resurface and repair the road deck of the Interstate 35W bridge that collapsed on Aug. 1 had prior experience working on it, according to officials with the the National Transportation Safety Board.
The construction firm, which began work on the bridge in early June, is a "an experienced bridge and deck repair contractor," says Mark V. Rosenker, chairman of NTSB.
