    Incredibly tragic scene. Pictures are horrific. Was there work being done on it at the time of the accident?

      My brother-in-law said there's been a lot of construction on the bridge all summer. It's also old - from the late 60's I think.

        Yeah Erin, they had been resurfacing the bridge all summer. There was however, no work being done on the steel structure of the bridge.
