At the moment, we are being clobbered by a cold front after having had crazy warm temperatures. Perhaps some things were contracting faster than others, and at a rate and in an uneven way that had not been anticipated.

Road construction in somewhat extreme circumstances is challenging.

This should be a big black eye to the liberals.

Looks as if the support cables shrank due to the cold. Maybe an inherent drawback in a cable stayed bridge in the cold.
