Bridges of America

FILE - In this March 16, 2018 file photo crushed cars are shown under a section of a collapsed pedestrian bridge near Florida International University in the Miami area. A federal workplace safety agency says engineers had knowledge of extensive cracking and failed to order to close a street and shore up a pedestrian bridge before it collapsed and killed six people at a Miami university.
