Скачать или смотреть Caught on Camera: Demolition of IL bridge lights up night sky

The demolition of a section of the McClugage Bridge lit up the night sky on Monday, April 28, in Peoria, Illinois.

Spectators were left waiting to see the spectacle, as a combination of windy weather and operational issues caused the planned time of the demolition to be moved from daylight hours to later in the evening, according to local reports.

This slow-motion footage by the Illinois Department of Transportation shows the moment the section of the bridge was demolished.

“Talk about a blast - literally!” the department said.

The eastbound section of the McClugage Bridge was to be demolished to make way for a new bridge.
