If that happened in rush hour.... been hundreds go into that freezing water if they survive the fall.

That's how I saw it too. Bridge was pretty clear of semi's and passenger vehicles, if not completely clear.

There were several times when vehicles started on to the bridge, and I was thinking "oh shit, they are not going to make it"!

Hopefully the construction crew numbers were low.
