Sacramento's bad bridge is coming down. Demolition work is now underway on the Del Rio Trail Bridge that crosses Interstate 5, connecting the Land Park neighborhood with the Sacramento River Bike Trail.

We first revealed last September that inspectors found the bridge was improperly built with lightweight concrete and rebar. The City of Sacramento is forcing the bridge builder to pay the cost of tearing it down and starting over.

At night, crews are working to remove the pavement, which is forcing several lanes of the freeway to be shut down and is causing a big traffic backup. It's also creating some late-night noise for nearby neighbors.

The multi-million dollar bridge was designed to allow bicyclists and pedestrians a safe path to cross the freeway without using city streets.
