> I would be totally unsurprised to see concrete appear in the replacement rather than steel truss. But remember, they're not likely to replace the whole bridge, only the severely damaged part. A company doesn't keep the investors happy by spending more money than they have to.
"The city of Tempe wants the reconstructed section to look like the rest of the bridge, which was built in 1912. Tempe Mayor Corey Woods said the city would have the opportunity to weigh in on the final design." -- [www.rtands.com]
In a related article, rtands says -- "The Tempe, Ariz., rail bridge that partially collapsed following a train derailment on July 29 was the site of another accident a little more than a month earlier. However, the derailment was so minor even Tempe’s mayor was not notified of it.
When asked at a news conference what he thought about the two accidents so close together, Mayor Corey Woods admitted he just found out about the June 26 event. Twelve Union Pacific cars left the track that day, and damage was sustained to the rail ties due to a fire. The line was reopened the following morning and residents were told it would be closed for two days for repairs, but the accident was not made public." -- [www.rtands.com]
