Bridge failure blamed on high stress and corrosion in eyebar
An engineer attributes the Silver Bridge collapse to extreme stress and corrosion inside the C-13 eyebar head. He argues a temporary cable-supported system during inspection could have saved the span, a major undertaking costing about 2 to 2.5 million dollars. The state should have inspected the bridge regularly since its 1941 purchase, and the Structure built in 1998 was followed by the demolition of a twin bridge at St. Marys.
