• Description:
  The results obtained from acetometers mounted on the luminaires of the I-80 Le Claire Bridge over the Mississippi River near East Moline, IL, indicated peak acceleration forces of approximately 5 g. Due to hazards posed by luminaires falling onto traffic or the bridge deck. District 2 removed the lighting until a safe solution is tested and approved.
