Pedestrian Bridge Collapse Miami Florida Int'l University

It was (partially) funded by the U.S. DOT.

 

ok, but not still a full on FL-DOT project? wasn't it more of a private project paid by the school (university???)

 

Not sure what Florida's financial involvement (if any) is. I would assume they have a certain amount of oversight at least. The Feds gave the university engineering program that is involved $11.4 - $12.4 million. I don't know if it was all for this project, or their engineering program in general. Nor have I seen a figure for the total cost of the project, but I am certain that's readily available.

 

ok, thanks.

i haven't kept up with anymore of this tragic event, only what i am hearing on the radio news. which if it's a slow day, they talk about it.

 

anyone recall ever seeing this failure from decades ago..???

 

Can't build a simple pedestrian bridge but I'm sure they can pull off autonomous vehicles
