ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Construction crews will suspend work on the new Interstate 35W bridge for six hours to mark last year's bridge collapse.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation says work will halt between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday. That's the anniversary of the disaster that killed 13 and injured 145. The bridge fell at 6:05 p.m.

Crews are rushing to open the new bridge to traffic between mid-September and early October.
