It was a racist bridge anyway............

I thought it was a combination of bird shit buildup and the gusset plates already being to the wrong thickness. The acid in the bird shit caused the thin plated to deteriorate faster

The new bridge is very nice. It has even been used for volent BLM demonstrations.

There was a very similar bridge in Central Texas. It was built in the 1930s and was the main bridge crossing the Highland Lakes. It was demolished and replaced a few years after the Minneapolis bridge collapse.

Monday morning, Gov. Tim Walz called for Minnesotans to "recommit to investing in the future of our state's infrastructure to ensure nothing like the I-35 bridge collapse ever happens in Minnesota again."

This was the same crap the state leadership was saying back in 2007 after the bridge collapse. They make it sound like the root cause of the incident was a systemic neglect of our nation's highway and bridge infrastructure. They deliberately left out the part where the bridge was already undergoing major rehabilitation work by a contractor when it collapsed.
