Heavy rain took out a bridge over a dry wash and cut off Phoenix from Los Angeles. Luckily only one man hurt and no one died.
There's going to be a huge amount of traffic diverting south to I-8 and over to San Diego. Or north to I-40 and go through Barstow.

<<<<< [:(!] I AGREE !
"people", you mean like muslime murderers and other illegal aliens ?
Bridges don't vote.
Don't give the democrats any more ideas. If dead people can vote I don't see why bridges can't?
The entire highway is closed, but it looks as if only one side collapsed.
Saw where the E Bound side is SEVERELY washed-out..
WOW !! i have driven over that "bridge" several times over the past 40 years, only once did i see any water under it, and it was barely a trickle.

There are plenty of white trash folks, right here in NNY, that are second or third generation welfare bums.
I count them amoung the undeserving, also.
Of course the old wooden bridge, which dates back to 1932, appears to still be standing.

Perhaps it was iron wood!? [:o)]

95 to Parker & then west to get back to I-10. I take that road from the I-10 to 29 Palms whenever I go to Laughlin. I bet it is a nightmare now. So much for going to Laughlin or Lake Havasu for a while now.
There are also bridges out on old Rt 66 that washed out quite a while ago. You have to go up to I-40 just East of Amboy.
If they will let drivers into Ca, they can also take the other hwy 95 in Blythe that parallels the 95 in Ariz, go north to the 62.
Well look at it this way. Some union slug will have a job for the next five years. Non union, six months. I know, I have been watching that scenario play out near me. After super storm sandy, we had many bridges washed out. Two bridges about a mile apart on route 559. Union still is working on a small little bridge to date. The other larger one was reopened about four months later by a non union company. Oh, but the union had their men there with a big inflatable rat, drinking coffee, and harassing the non union workers. Like I said, SLUGS
SO TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL.
Why is it a "Union" issue anyhow?
I really have to wonder, no I don't but will respond to your thoughtless response about Union Workers.
I Guess you receive your wages because that great employer thinks that you deserve them.
Fact is, it is the same Union Worker that you despise, I will talk Trade Unions, that has bargained for wages and benefits over 100 years so that the average person can make a living.
That same great non union employer pays wages to keep qualified employees, because Unions bargain for a fair wage.
If not for Union Employees, standing up for better pay, pension, medical, the same great non union company would be playing the I will pay 1 Dollar a day, then hire 4 men at .25 cents instead.
I guess you did this all by yourself, good pay, 401k,medical, no, Unions have done it for every working person, still even today.
So instead of berating Unions, just say thanks that they exist at all because otherwise who else can you blame? Proud Member Laborers Local 110
How about taking credit for pricing manufacturing jobs out of the country? We have the Port of Portland around here busily dying because the Longshoreman have been violating both contracts and the law and have chased away the shippers. Still haven't seen the organized labor family take credit for that debacle.
Unions played a role that was likely needed 100 years ago. Today? Not so much.
They have become self-promoting leeches whose main purpose seems to be financing leftist politicians. Given what leftist politicians have been doing to this country for the last 50 pr 60 years, if you want to take credit for it, good for you.
