The span was to be two sections. Both spans were to be supported by the center column, which is in place. The upright with support cables would go on after both spans were in place.

This is local news for us so heavy coverage. I noticed on the center column, where the rebar is tied together, only about 8-10” of rebar was exposed. To me that means when the upper column was poured they only had a little nub to tie to. That’s where it failed due to torque. Imho
