We had a whole huge chunk of one of our overpasses on 55 just fall off and land in the highway, thankfully NO ONE got hurt. It fell literally 2 minutes after I went under it too! They just rebuilt it, only a year and a half later.ksinger|1320598737|3055259 said:No severe injuries reported, so people seem OK. I'm MUCH more concerned about the structural integrity of our bridges after such a quake. All I-40 bridges and elevated sections are scary as hell, to be honest. They can't GET that thing rebuilt fast enough to suit me. I go under it daily on my way to work, and one day fairly recently they had the inner lane under the bridge, closed. Caused a nice little jam as you might imagine, but as I was going under I could see chunks in the closed lane and looking up, could see blue sky through the bridge deck. Sobering.
I avoid I-40 Eastbound whenever I can. They are redoing it, but again, not fast enough....
