An outside firm will be hired to conduct a separate investigation into the collapse
of the Interstate 35W bridge, the busiest bridge in the state.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty said that although he has faith in the investigation by the
National Transportation Safety Board, he wanted a parallel investigation. A forensic
engineering firm, Wiss, Janney and Elstner, will lead the investigation.

"We want redundancy," Pawlenty said, at an afternoon press conference.
