Just another opportunity to waste the peoples’ money.
Easy on the eyes too.
Pre-stress tested.
Chinese concrete ?
Check the bid proposal. Since it had federal money I’m 100% positive they had a DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) /WBE (Women owned Business Enterprise) goal for a certain % of work for these type of firms.
In China the responsible people would be executed. In America they are reelected to office.
Project manager was a Hispanic woman whose kid went to the college.
Well, more than one hundred experts holding Doctorate Degrees in Ethnic and Women's Studies reached a consensus that the bridge would last 100 years or more.
Let’s be honest. China is the largest steel maker in the world, by far. There’s nothing wrong with Chinese steel overall.
There IS a problem with American planners, government officials, engineers and buyers.
College educated idiots.
Yes, it is.
Yup! Who needs engineering skills? You just have to to have the right skin color, the “right†gender or be gender fluid. Knowledge is not a requirement in this society.
I’ll bet one or two dissenters warned about this and they were told to shut up.

The story was updated.
Too stupid to understand the difference between cement and concrete, I see.
Update: MCM says the woman was not associated with the bridge
