At least one construction worker has died and 18 others left injured after a walkway at the Atlanta Botanical Garden collapsed Friday morning.

According to reports a crew of construction workers had been pouring cement on a walkway they had been working on when the pedestrian bridge collapsed.

The bridge, called a “canopy walk,” had arched over a ravine that was to give visitors to the botanical garden an elevated view of the scenery. The bridge extended 600-feet and had been under construction since September.

Many of those injured were in intensive care with spine and back trauma while at least two suffered brain injuries.
