As details of the Minnesota bridge collapse become clearer, the role of
international freight carried by NAFTA Superhighway trucks on I-35 remains an
important backdrop of the human tragedy and the traffic nightmare the city is
just now beginning to appreciate.

U.S. Navy divers have come to the scene to assist in efforts to find the eight
people who remain missing since the bridge collapsed last Wednesday.

As Minneapolis and St. Paul struggle to re-route traffic, passenger and truck
traffic along I-35 will be seriously disrupted, with increased congestion and
costly travel delays until at least the end of next year, at the earliest.

According to a document titled "Bridge Facts" posted on the Minnesota Department
of Transportation, or MNDOT, website, the bridge on I-35W carried 140,000
vehicles daily, including 4,760 commercial vehicles.

John Hausladen, president of the Minnesota Trucking Association, estimates the
number of trucks crossing the bridge prior to its collapse was more like 5,700.

By comparison, truck traffic at Laredo, Texas – the busiest crossing point for
trucks headed north into the U.S. – was approximately 3,994 per day, according to
figures in January.

The Federal Highway Administration, or FHWA, characterizes Laredo as "the most
important truck crossing on the United States/Mexican border." The MNDOT was
warned that the volume of NAFTA trucks threatened the bridge.

The MNDOT document "Bridge Facts" points out Minneapolis span, despite the
deficiencies noted in years of official reports, was not under any truck
restrictions. At the time of collapse, it was considered safe, even for
overweight truck loads of up to 136,000 pounds.
