An incomplete bridge in Slovakia surprisingly defied an attempt to bring it down with high explosives, officially authorised after the death of four workers in an accident during its construction. The attempt to blast off the part of the under construction D1 highway bridge between the villages of Iliašovce and Kurimany (Prešov region) was made on Tuesday, November 13, 11 days after the tragic incident which also resulted in injuries to a number of other workers.

The Transport Ministry is reported to have forbidden the use of WEISE support frameworks in all bridge constructions in Slovakia until the incident in eastern Slovakia is thoroughly investigated. The project was insured for €2million, but the insurance company (6886 Kooperatíva) is reported as wanting to see responsibility assessed before it issues a payment.
