I think I read about this bridge earlier. I think a sub-contractor working on the arch’s said they didn’t want to proceed because of THEIR concern with the design. Maybe the “independent consulting firm” hired last year was simply verifying the legitimacy of the subcontractor’s concerns,

Apparently they just don’t give a Figg.

Why do we have so many bridge designs anyway? There is no need for anything but standard modular designs in most instances. That is what the Bailey Bridge is based on and it works for just about any application. Only the foundations and piers are changed.

The chicoms do standard and whip out bridges with reliable regularity.

I used to work for the company that designed the ship channel bridge. They typically do excellent work. I’m not sure how this flaw was overlooked.

Probably Chinese steel also :-(

Affirmative Action engineering strikes again.
