“....The nation's interstate highway construction boom in the 1950s and 60s created a vast network of roadways that ultimately allowed people to drive throughout the country with greater ease and efficiency. ....”

Anyone else read some of the stories about the Miami Condo complex built in the 1980’s that collapsed recently and the articles that said modern rebar reinforced concrete design can have a very limited life if the rebar starts to rust?

One article talked about the financial time-bomb of aging reinforced concrete used on large buildings, bridges, freeways, etc.

Now we have another group that wants to add more infrastructure that will have a finite like just so people can walk their dogs and meet?

I don't think this is a good idea or use of scarce taxpayer dollars.

I’d love to know how the Romans did concrete that has lasted thousands of years. Maybe we could go back to that, although I believe it had to be much thicker due to a lack of rebar.
