Not to mention wood is cheaper! Why overthink and over engineer simple stuff. 950 ton pedestrian bridge? Wtf ladies and gentlemen. All because a student was struck by a car trying to cross that street. Darwin would say that particular person wasn't smart enough to walk this earth. Thinning the herd a bit.
Who the heck knows.
If you look at the concept bridge drawings, this was the southern span of a 2 span cable stayed bridge. The northern span, the tower and the cable stays were yet to be built. There had to be significant tensioning to keep it up while the rest of the bridge was built. IMO, that's the non-standard part of the construction. I suspect that's where they will find the cause.
