And no one thinks about temporary traffic detours while they were tightening? Are there any level headed people living in South Florida anymore?

They should have closed off traffic. This is a case of pure carelessness
-
Yes, and horribly, criminally negligent, certifiably moronic carelessness.
(Sorry, I’m steamed about the kind of stupidity that gets people killed.)

One of the construction workers, Navarro Brown, who was working under the bridge was killed in the collapse.

The cable tensioning that was going on before the collapse, though, was in the diagonal support truss that holds up the concrete canopy above the walkway slab.
-
The diagonal doesn't just hold up the canopy, it holds up the entire bridge. The canopy and floor are the top and bottom chords of the truss (respectively), and the diagonal members are the web. They work together to hold up the whole bridge.

A very similar bridge collapse happened in Bogota, Colombia

I truly wonder what happened. Design, construction.
