I-44 Bridges Closed at MO59/I-49/I-44 interchange. Hit by crane

[triplemultiplex]

There would be independent utility in a WB 44 -> SB 49 flyover/turbine ramp regardless of whether or not future improvements eliminate the 44/49 duplex.  Simple reason being it's connecting St. Louis and beyond to a growing metro.

My guess is this crane had been trailered under this bridge MULTIPLE times before. Same thing happened at "Benton Road Overpass" on I-20 EB in Bossier City LA 15 year or so ago.

Yes it had. No problem before! What changed. They had to let the air out of the tires before they transported it.  The accident trip (as shown in the KOAM video above) the tires fully inflated.
