MnDOT I-35W bridge site

After spending some time taking photos around the bridge, I started looking into it some more. MnDOT has some rather interesting information on the bridge available on their web site. In addition to a video clip from shortly after the collapse (from the traffic cameras), there are drawings and reports and information about the rebuilding project. You can also see general bridge facts, which includes timings of when they had reports and action taken.

Nice pictures. Am i the 1st to leave a comment from a wii?

Thanks. Probably. Glad to see you found the browsing problem.

There was a browsing problem on the wii? I updated mine with the recent internet channel update but I didn't have a problem previously.

Some weird DSL router issue - computers worked, but the Wii didn't. A restart cleared it - consumer electronics are fun like that.

I'm sure not going to post from my wii. It takes forever to "type" on that thing. Pointing at letters isn't so fun.

I saw the bridge last night driving home from the twins game and it is just weird. I saw it from the university bridge over 35w. The bridge barely rises a little and then it eerily falls away only to rise back up on the other side of the river.
