Catoosa, Okla. (KTUL) — Since the I-40 bridge collapse in 2002, every rail and highway bridge in Oklahoma is now built with self-protection steel drums that are designed to keep barges from hitting the bridge itself.
On May 26, 2002, 14 people died when a barge rammed into an I-40 bridge in Webbers Falls, collapsing it.
The accident report concluded that the captain of the barge had a sudden loss of consciousness and that the accident caused around $30 million worth of damage.
