Well, that’s one bridge I will avoid.

Glowing, gushing exultation over man’s achievements is a certain way to curse them.

Wow. PPG never fails with the hyperbole. View the video at the link to see what PPG considers an engineering marvel. It’s a true masterpiece of civil engineering🤣🤣🤣

Imagine this news story about a new bridge. There is no picture of the new bridge. But there are pictures of a lot of politicians.

I am no structural engineer but I do know all bridges have ratings concerning loads. After looking on the net the average EV weighs about 2500 pounds more than a gasoline powered vehicle. Are all bridges being built now being designed to allow for all this additional weight? Are the existing bridges going to handle all this additional weight during a traffic jam? I believe if that had been an EV bus it would have happened a lot earlier too.

On another matter what happens when an EV catches fire in parking garage with prestressed planks? Just throwing that out there.

Florida put entire causeways up in a matter of days after this latest hurricane. I’m not seeing an engineering marvel. Typical hyperbole from DemocRats. If they did it, it must be the best thing since sliced bread.

The real marvel is how the bridge just happened to collapse only hours before Brandon came to town to push the infrastructure bill.

Video of walking across bridge makes it seem very bouncy. Also it doesn’t look like four lanes.
