Mn/DOT Crews Sample I-35W Bridge Concrete

Crews were on the deck of the I-35W bridge Thursday to take a closer look at the health of its concrete.

Workers drilled about four inches deep, removing a handful of samples. The goal is to assess the health of the concrete and see exactly how much salt and potassium acetate penetrated the deck this winter.

The samples will be sent to the Federal Highway Administration for testing.
