URS says it advised retrofit on Minneapolis bridge
LOS ANGELES |

The company said in a statement it had not been involved in recent work on the bridge, which collapsed on Wednesday during rush-hour traffic, killing at least four commuters and injuring scores more. A recovery operation is underway.
