California I 10 bridge withstands daily load but fails in flash flood
Desert Center California. The Interstate 10 bridge between Los Angeles and Phoenix failed when a flash flood scoured the desert land around its supports. One eastbound span collapsed, the westbound side closed, and 27,000 vehicles daily on average use the crossing. Caltrans inspectors checked 44 bridges along a 20 mile stretch after a second bridge showed damage. No reopening timeline set. A driver was rescued with moderate injuries after a pickup crashed during the collapse. The eastbound span had been labeled functionally obsolete.
