We ran out to the site of the Eggner Ferry bridge collapse this morning so we could see first hand the damage and "what happened" in last nights boat crash with the tow boat the Delta Mariner knocking out a section of the bridge around 8pm Jan 26.

Here a few different angles of the wreckage. The boat is stuck under the bridge still because so much of the bridge is wrapped around the front of the bridge. We certainly don't want to point the finger or assign blame in a case we have no knowledge of the actual events. However the pictures seem to show exactly what happened here and we're reminded of those "low clearance" signs you see on over passes on county highways.

"I'm gonna see if I can squeeze under the shortest part of the bridge...better dump the ballasts first"

What are these Capt.'ns thinking, First the Italy disaster now this. Time for some refresher courses, drug testing, eye charts. Like driving a 12'6" truck under a 10' Bridge can't be done.

Gee, the river gage is only two columns down. So they only missed the actual navigation channel by about a quarter mile. What, were they "flying IFR?"

Thankfully, no one was hurt but can't wait to see how much structure this will provide for fishing. How long to fix the bridge and will affect traffic?

Oh,Costa Concordia-Style topwaterversion.

and having fiber lines running along that bridge didn't help either. A bunch of State facilities are down.

He was probably texting

And I was worried that the Bridge Officers of the Costa Concordia wouldn't be able to find work again. Looks like I worried for nothing.

For those who commute using this bridge - how much will this impact their lives? What's the mileage on the next available crossing? Looks like a skinny old bridge.  
 
 
 
Scrappers will probably retrieve the steel.  
 
 
 
Nice Pics!
