(From PD website)

Eleven years ago, the eastbound I-90 bridge over Grand River failed. Four corroded gussets -- steel plates that tie beams into a design called a Warren truss -- buckled, sinking one section of the Lake County (Ohio) span 3 inches.

Last week, the westbound I-35 bridge in Minneapolis collapsed. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating gusset plates on that bridge, also a Warren truss design.
