This presentation, part of the Institution’s Technical Lecture Series, will look at the bridge collapse and the reasoning for the subsequent CROSS Safety Alert (download available below).
It will examine:
- what happened in the lead up to the collapse
- why the collapse happened
- what can be learned by the industry to avoid a repeat event
It will give recommendations, thoughts for the future, and further reading materials. All of this will be aimed at preventing a future tragedy.

All those involved in the design and execution of bridges and other structures
