I-35 W Bridge

What I most currently read was an article on the progress of the I-35 W bridge from the Star Tribune. Back in August 1st the I-35 bridge collapsed, and 13 people lost their lives. Though the new bridge opened on September 18th the project on 35 W is not yet complete. On the project of completing 35W the contractors Flatiron Constructors Inc were hired, they singed a 234 dollar contract to complete the project, and they were eligible to earn and extra 27 million if they finished the bridge before their deadline of December 24th.. Although some people are questioning why we can construct a bridge in 11 months, but can’t finish highway 494 before and estimated 4 years of reconstruction. The answer to that question was pure funding from the state. Although the 35W bridge collapsing was a tragic event reconstruction was going to be don’t on the bridge in 2012 and it would’ve taken much longer and funding would’ve been substantial for that two.
