Disaster shines spotlight on Arizona bridge safety

The recent catastrophic collapse of a major urban bridge in Italy should provide a cautionary lesson for all overseers of roadway safety, says Barzin Mobasher, a Fulton Schools professor whose expertise is in structural engineering and building materials. Extending the use of aging bridges beyond their estimated lifespan may be economical, Mobasher says, but the downside is the potentially increased risk of structural instability. The report also aired on Tucson News Now.
