"The incident should urge Portland officials to take a closer look at our bridges, especially those that were recently constructed, to make sure that nothing similar would occur in our city," said Beato.
Beato echoed the sentiments of National Transportation Safety Board chairman Robert Sumwalt after the latter dispatched a team to determine "what happened so we can keep it from happening again."
The 15-member team is composed of experts in civil engineering, materials science, and human factors.
Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted Thursday that the cables that suspended the walkway were loose and that as they were being tightened, the walkway collapsed.
At least eight vehicles were trapped in the wreckage, and at least 10 people have been transported to hospitals and six confirmed dead in the aftermath of the collapse.
The newly erected 174-feet long, 950-ton pedestrian bridge connected the Florida International University with the city of Sweetwater. It was built at the cost of $14.2 million and designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and to last 100 years. It was installed on Saturday in six hours over the eight-lane highway.
To keep the inevitable disruption of traffic associated with bridge construction to a minimum, the 174-foot portion of the bridge was built adjacent to Southwest 8th Street using a method called Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC).
Munilla Construction Management, which installed the bridge was founded in 1983 and owned by five brothers, according to its website. In addition to its Florida operations, the company also has divisions in Texas and Panama and employs 500 people.
FIGG Engineering said it took part in the bridge project and the collapse was a first in its 40-year history.
The National Transportation Safety Board was sending a team to investigate why it collapsed.
