Team Looking at Temporary Bracing for Cause of Collapse
Investigators have begun sifting for clues to the cause of a bizarre fatal bridge accident in Colorado in a process expected to take six to eight months.
On May 15, a bridge girder that had been erected over the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 west of Denver fell on its side and sagged into the path of a sport-utility vehicle, killing its three occupants, all members of one family. Construction work was not in progress at the time of the accident. The girder had been erected four days earlier, but subsequent scheduled work had been suspended because of bad weather.
