Bridge Girder Collapses

Bridge Girder Collapses

Bridge Girder Collapses

(OP)
Was wondering if anyone has a database listing of bridge girder collapses during installation/stressing - say over the last 3 to 5 years?  I think that there were two in US this year so far but wasn't able to find the threads about them.  Your kind assistance is greatly appreciated.

RE: Bridge Girder Collapses

There was an awful lot of conversation, with links to local newspaper accounts regarding the collapse of a beam over I-70 just west of Denver, back around the end of last year, but I did not produce the thread with a search on the words Colorado, DOT, or I-70.

Maybe someone else knows what thread that is, and can pitch in here.

Thanks - it was a steel girder and I found it also through the internet - on May 15,2004.  I think that there was another in NJ.  Reason, I am asking is that there has been three in our area in the last 2 years.  Can't go into more detail at this time, unfortunately. nBut thanks for your help.
