The Sun Herald reports on an accident on the partially completed bridge over the Bay of St. Louis. The accident does not affect the portion of the bridge already open for traffic.
The Article:
MDOT District Engineer Ricky Lee said that a portion of the forming system used to pour supports collapsed and fell into the water. When it fell, it was away from the completed span, which was not compromised.
"It laid over in the water like a tree," said MDOT Engineer David Seyfarth, who said the column being worked on was near the span over the navigation channel near the highest portion of the bridge.
Update 5:08: 1 worker confirmed dead. (WLOX)
