This cantilevered pier-beam arrangement supported three x 3-plate steel girders of approx 1.8m (6 feet) in depth, for each half of the overpass (6 plate girders on total). The cantilever length of the supporting beams is considerable, yet the tapered box girder depth looks rather shallow.
They appear to have used steel channels sections to achieve composite action to the CIP deck slab. But the collapse has resulted on very 'clean' failure planes across the welded channel.
