Hey,,,How much SALT is used on that bridge in the winter ??...

The bridge had an automatic deicing system. Of course, cars could track salt onto the bridge which could eventually drain into the supports. Chloride corrosions are some of the worst types of corrosion known (especially chloride stress corrosion cracking). Presumably the State would inspect/clean periodically to prevent corrosion failures. Of course, that still needs to be determined (if it was actually the cause).

TANKS a bunch for that info,,,I had no idea,,,I’m way down in Louisiana,,,When we get ice they go krazy with the salt around here,,,The 1933 bridge over the Red River(Shreveport)
is in bad shape,,,Two ‘60 bridges just south of that one are/have being totally replaced...
