(AP) - Officials say at least one other bridge along the freeway that connects California and Arizona is showing signs of damage near where a span over a desert wash collapsed during a storm.
Terri Kasinga, spokeswoman for the California Department of Transportation, said early Monday that all bridges would be inspected along a 30-mile stretch of Interstate 10. She didn't know how many bridges that stretch includes.
The agency did not detail the damage to the bridge a few miles from the collapse site.
The bridge for eastbound traffic gave way Sunday and ended up in the floodwaters below. I-10 is closed indefinitely in both directions.
Flash flood watches remain in place, and a third day of showers is expected as the remnants of a tropical storm off Baja California continued to push north.
