Firefighters try to contain a fire at a bridge construction site on Interstate 15 in Hesperia, Calif., on Tuesday, May 6, 2014. The blaze, 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)
