Early signs point to a construction incident rather than structural failure.

 
“Pulice had replaced a defective bridge pier earlier that lacked the sufficient amount of reinforcing rebar. The contractor discovered the problem, removed and rebuilt the pier at their expense, which ran roughly $100,000, Ninztel says.”
