There seemed to be a lot more cars on the highway just before it hit, Dont see a lot of cars headlights on the bridge as it gets hit.

If that happened in rush hour.... been hundreds go into that freezing water if they survive the fall.

That's how I saw it too. Bridge was pretty clear of semi's and passenger vehicles, if not completely clear.

There were several times when vehicles started on to the bridge, and I was thinking "oh shit, they are not going to make it"!

Hopefully the construction crew numbers were low.
