See picture attachment below.
Looks to me like it was a construction error and not an engineering error.

That’s why the crane was temporarily in place.
One cannot build and anchor that piece on side of road and move into place.
Crane was being used until that could be put in place, which was why stress tests were underway.
Also reason why not open to public.
Bridge was still under construction.
Also note, the ENTIRE Bridge was 174 ft long and 950 Tons.
The part that collapsed was probably 60% of that.
Another piece was needed to go over water/drainage.
