It looks like the pier's bottom oozed toward the water, and compression in the landed beam is all that's holding it upright.

The Red River floods every year. The entire area is flooded each and every spring. In the Winnipeg area, extreme caution is required to prevent this type of failure. It is not an easy problem to contend with. But it would be interesting to learn what type of foundation was used for this particular bridge.

Ice can do stuff like that, especially when it decides to leave.

Meaning that they put so much effort and expense into the design of the foundations that no one ever sees.
I used to think of that as something of a derogatory term, but whenever I see foundation failures like this I learn to appreciate the value of the buried treasure.

But, as hokie pointed out, California brides may be hiding some treasure as well. :)
