Chattanooga 1-75 N to I-24 W Overpass Partial Collapse 6

[Sym P. le]

Maintenance? What maintenance?

TDOT indicates this bridge was constructed in 1959 and last inspected July 2018.

The tree at the east support looks out of place and the gap between the beams (visible from underneath) on the west support looks odd. It also seems that the purchase on the west support was less than optimal. I hope the driver makes a complete recovery.

Charlie,
Yes I agree. I was looking at the incorrect section on the top side. Thanks for your fantastic input. It would be interesting to read the report on this.
