I-35E reopened after part of bridge falls

Incredibly, a chunk of a bridge over 35E fell on two cars, narrowly missing killing the occupants.

Chunks of concrete crashed down from the Maryland Avenue overpass onto Interstate 35E Saturday, shutting down the busy freeway for several hours and causing a big traffic jam. The freeway is open today.
Concrete pieces struck two vehicles, one on the hood and the other on the windshield, but no one was hurt, said Kent Barnard, a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
A section, about 6 feet by 9 feet and 1 inch thick, fell from the bottom of the overpass in several pieces and covered the northbound lanes of I-35E with powdery debris.
The State Patrol closed the freeway in both directions shortly after the incident at 4:45 p.m. Traffic was rerouted onto exit ramps to get around the overpass.

Of course MNDOT is working on it's image.

Over the past year, the department has worked to rebuild its image. For an agency that often seems to live and breathe safety, the bridge collapse led to a secondary disaster within the department -- a tattered image.

Meanwhile, rumors of the Governor shifting money from highway projects over past years persist from within MNDOT.
