I-40 bridge
Heading westbound. Bridge is not particularly interesting, but is historic because of the collapse.

I-40 Arkansas River Bridge This is the bridge near Webbers Falls, Oklahoma that partially collapsed in 2002 when a barge hit one of the piers. 14 were killed. Video posted by J Lance |
Personally, I'd be okay with keeping this one. It's large, and in my opinion attains some significance because of the collapse. Otherwise, I don't think it would be notable enough to be on here.
I don't think this bridge is historic outside of the barge incident. But that is to the administrators behind the website to determine the bridge's notability.
I agree the collapse is noteworthy and was covered on the Science Channel for their "Engineering Catastrophes" show
