How did the 35W bridge collapse?

It was determined by the National Transportation and Safety Board that the bridge has had structural design flaws from the beginning. These flaws, though not sufficient to cause a collapse during regular use, were sufficient to cause a collapse during the bridge's repair when all of the construction equipment and gravel for concrete making was on it in addition to the load of rush hour traffic.These were the errors noted in their report:Insufficient bridge design firm quality control procedures for designing bridges, and insufficient Federal and State procedures for reviewing and approving bridge design plans and calculations.Lack of guidance for bridge owners with regard to the placement of construction loads on bridges during repair or maintenance activities.Exclusion of gusset plates in bridge load rating guidance.Lack of inspection guidance for conditions of gusset plate distortion.Inadequate use of technologies for accurately assessing the condition of gusset plates on deck truss bridges.
