MANTEO, N.C. (AP) One person was killed after a portion of an old bridge on the North Carolina Outer Banks collapsed and fell into the water, authorities said Wednesday.
Capt. Jeff Derringer of the Dare County Sheriff’s Office said workers were dismantling a section of the old Bonner Bridge around 5 p.m. when that section fell approximately 110 feet into Oregon Inlet.
Pictures taken from traffic cameras showed the road deck had been removed from the steel girders and stacked on top of them.
The section of the bridge that fell was the last section to be demolished and was the tallest point of the old span, officials said. The portion of the bridge that remains is being prepared for conversion into a fishing pier that will open to the public this summer.
