Title: 80 Foot Section of Broad Street Bridge Collapses Post by: patsy6 on 05-Aug-16, 04:18:33 PM An 80 foot section of the sidewalk on the northeast side of the Broad Street Bridge collapsed today, while the bridge is under construction. A 20 foot section plunged into the river, while the other 60 feet hangs being supported by reinforcing bars. I've crossed that bridge on foot thousands of times in the past 13 years. Way to feed my bridge phobia, guys!

They had heavy equipment on the east end of the bridge with lots of loud banging. I kept saying I wouldn't want to be in the subway bed. Yikes!

Apparently it happened sometime between 8 AM and 9 AM, probably not too long after you were watching.

I thought of that too, Donna. The herons hang out around there, as well as gulls, ducks and this year's turtle. It doesn't look like there's anything around it, though, so here's hoping everyone's safe. |
