In the 70s I used to cross a bridge across the Missouri River at St. Joseph, Missouri every day. US Highway 36. This bridge was probably built at the turn of the century and was having constant deck failure.

You could see through the holes you were driving over as the deck was being spot-gap repaired on the other side. The corrosion was terrible and I deal in steel somewhat and know that surface rust is not always a bad think -- I'm talking wholesale scaling. They got it to survive until replacement in part due to almost constant repair.

While shaking is normal, this thing was failing so rapidly that while you were stopped on it for alternating trafice around repairs, you could see bits and pieces falling loose. I kid you not.

OMG!

And in Minnesota they spent $800 million for a Light Rail system while their bridges are literally collapsing.

The Mayor and Governor should resign or risk impeachment.
