Cause of bridge collapse could come out next year

Key points (MPR):

  • Southern end moved 81 feet, not the 50 feet originally cited below.  However, this was due to the collapse, not a cause.
  • Focus is now on northern end - the southern end was the easiest to examine.  In comparison, the northern end is going to require aerial photography.  The Big Dig collapse investigation took a year.  I wouldn’t expect a final answer on this until 2008.
  • I happened to be at my former home when I saw a bus drop off civilians on the Cedar Ave bridge.  Took some photos but found out later they were families of the deceased.  I won’t be publishing them.  Suffice to say a large US flag is now flying from the Cedar bridge.
