Falsework on Highway 36 bridge demolished near Taber
A worksite accident on the Highway 34 bridge near Taber left twenty men escaping serious injury as falsework collapsed, with two workers pinned, one hospitalized for possible chest injuries. The upstream ice and rising water contributed to the disaster delaying bridge completion. The incident halted river work for about a month awaiting river conditions and pile driver access.
