Talk:De la Concorde overpass collapse

Improvements
Have to add a section "Immediately before" and describe the events that lead up to the collapse

Have to add a "Learnings" section just before the see also section.

This section will contain: Also have to add a section on "Similar Events" and include A section on "Suspected Cause/s"
 * information about infrastructure investment
 * life cycle policies
 * incident in 2000 when a man died
 * other overpass that was pulled down as it is the same design as the concorde overpass and is therefore suspect

August 2007
From the article: In August 2007, incidentally just weeks before the I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse, the Quebec department of transports issued a list of 135 overpasses that were under close scrutiny, and closed to all overweight trucks (in excess of 20 tonnes) traffic.

How could a list be issued in August 2007, "weeks before" the bridge collapse, when the bridge collapsed on August 1? Should that read "In July 2007"? -- timc  talk   01:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, although it needs in-line citations to facilitate verification. I have assessed this as low importance, as it is a highly specific event within Canada. Cheers, CP 16:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

additional cause?
a tv doc on the subject, which quotes (it seems) almost verbatim from this article, suggests an additional cause; the ingress of road-salt into the structure, & subsequent damage to the rebar. can this be verified & included?
