>“In our 40-year history, nothing like this has ever happened before,” Figg said.

- maxerickson 9y agoThey designed the replacement that was installed in 2008. The bridge that collapsed was designed by a different company in the 1960s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Mississippi_River_bridge#Design_and_construction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Mississippi_River_bridge...
