FIU bridge | Plans to rebuild collapsed Florida bridge move forward Plans to rebuild the Florida International University (FIU) pedestrian bridge have moved forward. The university has transferred the money needed to construct the crossing to Florida’s Department of Transportation, paving the way for detailed design to begin. It comes nearly three years since the bridge collapsed onto a live highway killing six people. Florida’s Department of Transportation will directly oversee the design and construction of the bridge. The FIU bridge in Miami-Dade County was being constructed by Magnum Construction Management (MCM) under a design and build contract when it collapsed onto a live eight-lane road on 15 March 2018, killing six people and injuring eight others.
