A highway overpass was observed to resonate as one full loop (½ λ) when a small earthquake

Question:

A highway overpass was observed to resonate as one full loop (½ λ) when a small earthquake shook the ground vertically at 4.0 Hz. The highway department put a support at the center of the overpass? Earthquakes rarely do significant shaking above 5 or 6 Hz. Did the modifications do any good?
