A contractor cuts steel re-bar as the remains of the Ranchero overcrossing bridge is torn down in Hesperia, Calif., on Tuesday, May 6, 2014. A fire on the bridge, which burned through the night, reduced the bridge's wooden support structure to ash and caused steel girders to sag into the freeway below. Crews used heavy equipment to slowly drag collapsed remnants out of lanes. Traffic on the northbound side of Southern California's main connector to Las Vegas could be flowing again by mid-to-late afternoon, said Basem Muallem, District 8 Director for Caltrans. Southbound lanes are expected to reopen by Wednesday morning, he said. (AP Photo/The Victor Valley Daily Press, James Quigg)
