O.P. Canadian Highway overpass collapses
It's all over the news. I think it's really sad. Me and my family were going to go there today (Laval) but we decided not to, and well it's better off. The main highway is blocked anyway.

More...

More...

Note: CBC have their days wrong, it collapsed on Saturday, not Sunday.

They are throughly inspecting 20 that were made with the same plans, and they closed one. They are also inspecting the other 4500 overpasses in Québec and have 200 left to check.

According to what the The guy said (the guy who made the plans, he was interviewed this morning) it was lack of people taking care of the overpasses. Noone takes care of them, it's true. It makes sense that this one collapsed, it's a main in Laval.

Its strange you normally don't hear about highway overpasses collapsing. Hope it never happens again in the future.
