It was also stated it was not complete yet.* So what?* It should have

Not necessarily the engineering if it was, indeed, construction; the
design may have been perfectly adequate.* Where, precisely, the blame
belongs is at this point indeterminate and jumping to any conclusions
premature.

Engineering is not just the design of the finished unit, it also
includes proper procedure for construction and installation. Unless a
couple of pages of the assembly instructions were missing, it is still a
design flaw.

USA Today article states experts say it was vulnerable to collapse until
completed. While that may be true, it does not sound very smart over a
highway.



I've even heard both reported that it had been opened for pedestrian
traffic which would imply completion and that it was still
incomplete--so which was it?* Clearly the newsfolk don't have all their
"facts" straight yet (as if they ever do) before rush to pontificate.

Not complete. Scheduled to be complete in 2019. It was just erected in
6 hours last Saturday.

The concepts of fabricating off site is a good one that has worked for
many projects but evidently, it was poorly executed here.
