Yes, of course was thinking of you in Pocatello and another friend in Idaho Falls.

Good thing we've got Mayor Pete on the job! Yep. Looks like about a $100 million-per-foot fix to bridge that gap.

If you look at the trees on the right-hand side of the picture they appear to be leaning away from the road. That isn’t good.

Whatever way they decide to fix this mess, just clearing the land of all those trees is major project alone.

I can attest to that here in Kansas. There is a bridge about nine miles west of me that I can’t drive over because there is a sign “Road Closed Due to Weak Bridge”. I drive over that bridge when I haul wheat to market and harvest will start in about ten days. Whatever happened to “Build Back Better” Joe?

What exactly is Mayor Pothole’s transportation expertise?
Total sum of his expertise comes from his time spent via hershey highway.

Poor roads are a state issue unless you are on Federal lands. I am no fan of Pete Buttigeg but you have to go after state DOTs to fix these mudslide and bridge issues.

can’t use dirt, they need lightweight fill.

Looks like they are going to need a bigger bridge.

It looks like a bridge is the only way to go. My guess is a total reroute away from the slide area.

True that. But, Jake LaTurner, a congressman from Kansas and Jerry Moran a US Senator from Kansas, voted yeah on a bill to give Ukraine $61 billion dollars of my taxpayer dollars and not a damn nickel to improve anything in Kansas. I called the office of both of them to ask why. I still haven’t received a reply.

This will definitely need quite a bit of engineering.

Loooks to me like when the road was built, there was a ravine or big gully at that spot. The engineers had a choice; build a short bridge across the ravine or fill it with soil hauled into that spot. They chose a fill. But the fill ground never settled and properly solidified. Comes this rainy period and fill ground slides away. Build a bridge across the ravine this time. JMHO.
