Early Friday morning, August 29, 2008, a section of the Harbour View Bridge collapsed as a result of the raging waters caused by the passage of Tropical Storm Gustav.
Here is a photo taken by Anna Overton, a Gleaner Online reader captured the damage. For more photos visit the Gallery

To get a perspective of where the Harbour View bridge is, look at read this story,
“Harbour View Bridge collapses leaving residents stranded”
and look for the map at the end. One perspective is clear, residents in St. Thomas are pretty much cut off from Kingston.

Can’t say I’m surprised at this. I only hope no one was on there at the time.
