On a recent trip to Central America I ran into many collapsed bridges or failed bridge members. I was only able to grab a few picture of a couple that we drove by and was able to find another near San Pedro Sula, Honduras victim of the May 28 2009 earthquake, which we drove past on our way the airport.
I haven't started to look into their infrastructure ratings or if they have any bridge design, load rating and inspection standards yet due to work and graduate school classes. Hopefully soon I'll be able to take a look into this. In the meantime be careful of both the bridges and the drivers in Central America (makes Boston drives seem sane).
And here are some non bridge related pictures from the trip
