(MNN)->>Today marks the 18th anniversary of the deadly 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis. Thirteen people died and 145 were injured when the bridge failed and fell into the Mississippi River during the evening rush hour on August 1, 2007. Investigators blamed the collapse on design flaws in the span’s gusset plates. Congress approved $250 million for a new bridge, which opened just over a year later in September 2008. A 35W Remembrance Garden near Gold Medal Park honors the victims of the collapse.
