Abstract:
More than 3 months ahead of schedule, crews placed concrete to close the final gap on the new I-35W St. Anthony Falls Bridge crossing the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, MN. The bridge opened to traffic on September 18, 2008, less than 14 months after its predecessor collapsed August 1, 2007. The catastrophe resulted in the loss of 13 lives and injuries to 145.
