Florida officials were told "there were no safety concerns" about a crack in a Miami university bridge, hours before it collapsed killing six people, APA reports quoting BBC.
Florida International University said a meeting on Thursday morning involved the engineering and construction companies, as well as Florida's transport department.
An engineer told officials it "did not compromise the structural integrity".
The bridge fell on eight vehicles about three hours later.
In a statement, the university said the "engineer of record" from the contractor FIGG gave a technical presentation regarding the crack, in a meeting that lasted about two hours.
