Abstract:

The recent fire that resulted in the closure of a bridge on the Santa Monica Freeway section of Interstate 10 (I-10) in Los Angeles, California, has caused the detour of approximately 290,000 vehicles a day, adversely affecting the lives of local travelers, the movement of goods and services, and the local and regional economies. Although the investigation is still ongoing, this incident appears to be very similar to the fire that resulted in the 2017 collapse of the Interstate 85 (I-85) bridge over Piedmont Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia. This event in California again raises serious concerns about storing materials, including flammable, explosive, or hazardous materials, under bridges and other elevated structures.
