High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the Yekaterinburg bridge collapse in Russia, on September 6, 2006 (according to Itar-Tass) railway traffic was paralyzed by the collapse of an automobile bridge near the center of city. The head of the Sverdlovsk Railway, Shevket Shaidullin, said damage caused by the incident was quite significant. A total of 111 freight trains and 104 passenger trains were delayed. Changes to the train schedule incurred big costs, he said. He said, however, that the railway tracks had not been damaged. Three of 10 reinforced-concrete beams of the bridge span above the railway fell onto the rail tracks. Work to dismantle the other six remaining beams was conducted through the joint efforts of railwaymen and builders. The bridge beams were first separated from one another by slits and then lowered to the ground by means of emergency train jibs.
