    The document discusses the collapse of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge. The steel truss arch bridge collapsed due to a design flaw, corrosion at truss joints which led to fatigues and cracks, and an increase in the specified load for the bridge along with poor quality control and maintenance. To prevent future collapses, the document recommends better bridge design, adequate and regular maintenance, and using materials that can better withstand stresses.
