Absolutely appalling. Having a bridge just break apart because no one cared to do proper maintenance checks.
People just going about their day and they just get thrown into a fucking chasm.

Absolutely appalling.

Makes you wonder if it was a deliberate attempt to have the infrastructure bill pass though. Timing was very .. "coincidental".

I used to work with an engineer, he said most bridges in America have D - C safety rating. Look at the columns next time you are near one, you will see plenty of cracks.

Collapsing bridges are frequent here in Italy :?. It's really bad.

Lack of infrastructure maintenance is a sign of (usually long term) siphoning of funds to 'some other place'. Usually to bank accounts of shabbos goy.

Obviously this "infrastructure" bill they passed did not have anything to do with infrastructure.

Sorry, Americans, there are bigger priorities. Like gender studies in Pakistan and more money for “greatest ally”. Bridges can wait.

I definitely agree. So many times I'll look at a bridge and be like WTF because the degradation if it's structure is so obvious. It's bad anymore.
