Victims of the Interstate 35W bridge collapse sued the Minnesota Department of Transportation on Thursday for its failure to turn over public information since the bridge fell Aug. 1.
Filed in Hennepin County District Court, the suit seeks access to all records, studies, inspections, contracts and visual materials relating to the bridge and its collapse. The lawyer who filed the suit, James Schwebel, said he also wants access to investigative materials produced by the Northbrook, Ill., firm of Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc., which MnDOT hired to investigate the cause of the collapse.
