My family and I were going to the Mall of America in Minnesota next Tuesday but my dad is now deciding that it might not be 'safe' enough to go now because that bridge collapsed in Minneapolis. So do you think it's safe?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST CALL YOUR LOCAL DMV OFFICE, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANY AND ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL BE GETTING THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.

Yes it is very safe to go to the mall of America, the reason that the bridge collapse was due to the age and the lack of preventive maintenance that should have been done over the 40 years, so I would go and have a great time.

This web site www.highways.org has links to the federal government "invnetory" of safety inspections of bridges in the USA showing which are "deficient" organized by geography, so you can find out which bridges in your neck of the woods will soon be in your bend of the river, unless they get fixed, then you know which bridges to avoid.
Now was your fear that the Mall of America was going to fall down?
That is a private enterprise that has a strong profit motive to do good repairs and keep it in good condition ... totally different situation from government Department of Transportation DOT that has managed to be allowed to not tell the motoring public what bridges are safe and what are not.
If anything bad happens at the Mall of Ameica, it aint going to be a building falling down for lack of maintenance, it is going to be one of those terrorist attacks.

The news said that hundreds of bridges were found unfit by federal regulations and are inspected constantly or scheduled for upgrade. I would go anyway but you might want to question the validity of the state to keep them safe. A lot of screaming to do about that.

It is a fluke thing that happened. It is not a terroristic act and no others have collapsed. FYI, that bridge is pretty far north from Bloomington, where the MOA is located. Depending on which was you come from, but there are no bridges that cross any rivers near the MOA.

Thank you for thinking of everyone in this accident....my parent's neighbor never returned home from work yesterday and his family thinks he may be stuck under the bridge since he crosses it everyday, but they probably won't know for awhile. It's unbelievable. I can't even begin to imagine what the victims and their families have had to go through. You are a very sweet person. God bless you

there has to be more one bridge in that city!
And the Mall of America isn't even Minneapolis in the first place
(unless it moved ;)

As long as you don't cross the bridge, where there is no bridge, it should be as safe as any other trip to the mall.

Why wouldn't it be? You won't be driving over that bridge anymore. Do you think all bridges are in imminent danger of collapsing? Some sort of domino effect?
