No one was seriously hurt.
Officials spent yesterday pushing the first of two temporary sections across the gap between the north and south sides of the river.
They say they plan to work day and night to meet their goal of getting the span in place by next week.
A permanent replacement for the bridge is expected to be finished around Labour Day.
