The two remaining road sections aren't level with each other. I'm not a bridge engineer, but it looks like the supporting columns on the near-side may have sunk and snapped the centre-span at that point, which then sheared-off at the other side due to lack to support.
- Yetanfou 8y agoIf that photo is anything to go by it looks like the concrete beams forming the centre span were not supported by the horizontal I-beams, causing the span to fall into the river below. I'll have to assume the centre span originally did rest on those I-beams so it would seem that they have moved, either during construction or due to some external influence.
