During that day the pier cap collapsed causing the collapse of the launching girder‚ span between p-66 and p-67 piers which had already been erected and pre-stressed‚ and also segments of the superstructure for the span between p-67 and p-68. The pier cap (p-67) sheared from the connecting point of the pier and pier cap. The top reinforcement of the cantilever beam did not have any development into the pier itself which caused the shear itself
