Bridge spanning Miss River collapses during rush hour in MN

I just say 'no'. However, you can't seem to grasp the fact that I35 is an 8-lane interstate, not a one lane highway. As far as I remember, the bridge/street running parallel is still a four lane road (Marshall Avenue in St. Paul turns into Lake Street in Mpls).

lol

I simply stated that the bridge that collapsed looked "puny", especially compared to the one next to it.

I do structural engineering. That's what I was referring to - the structure. Perhaps you were referring to the size and volume of traffic it receives. Thus causing our confusion.

From aerial shot and perspective, talking 'bout......
Me=width

I believe the Lake Street bridge is higher...so, of course more elaborate infrastructure. I35 is lower, so it may appear, from the perspective of an aerial shot, *puny* in comparison.
