I-35W Bridge

The I-35W Bridge is a deck-arch truss bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was built in 1967 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The bridge is notable for not having any piers in the water. Instead, the main support piers are located on the banks of the river, and are built of tubular-shaped concrete pillars

The north-south bridge collapsed into the river and onto the riverbanks on August 1, 2007 during the weekday rush hour, about 6:05 p.m. Central Daylight Time, causing at least 60 injuries. By the morning of 2 August 2007, only four deaths were confirmed, but as many as 30 were reported missing. This is considered the worst U.S. bridge collapse in more than 20 years. The collapse itself was caught on video by a nearby surveillance camera.

Cause

It is said that the cause for the collapse is the unbalance inside the structure induced by the closure of 6 lanes, with full pressure by rush hour traffic, and general weakness of the structure. Nothing is confirmed yet.
