PING!
This story cannot be true. obama and biden fixed all the roads and bridges starting in 2009. I saw all the signs posted that thanks to them all was being fixed.
Maybe just the construction of the signs?
This country is not what it once was and neither are its structures or institutions.
Rot has set in.
Oh good God.
This was what they said when the I35 bridge fell in Minneapolis.
“All bridges need to be checked!” Like it was the end of the world. Here we are 20 years later with few such issues and they whine that we’re in terrible shape again.
The cracked section could have had doublers added to it, and the load limit on the bridge reduced, forcing heavy trucks to have to take an alternate route, but the bridge should have been reopened to traffic long before this.
That’s okay, because we are going to pass a “human” infrastructure bill, which is a complete oxymoron. Infrastructure is by definition physical.
Just like “shovel ready” was a complete sham cover for funding social reconstruction (power grab), I would posit that the infrastructure bill that doesn’t even fund infrastructure wont even fund people. It will inevitably fund political organizations.
Been paying fuel taxes out-the-wazoo for decades.
Where did all the money go?
Let it all burn.
The rats probably had a demo team go to work to produce a big news story to help push their infrastructure boondoggle.
Crews have been working on the Arkasas-Tennesse bridge for at least twenty years. The rake-offs by now must be astounding.
We don’t need any sink’n bridges! Bridges are racist! We need bike lanes and electric bus that break down and can’t be fixed and can’t hold a charge long enough to last half of a regular day of service and lots of money lining government official’s pockets
I knew it.
Time to bring up the Minneapolis bridge again.
I drove by it one week before the collapse.
There were huge holes in the bridge deck probably to fix rust.
Most likely that was the reason it failed.
Contractor or employee error.
