Bridge Collapse

[Hibernicus]

Thanks for the kind words!

And now fire in Montana, some of our SCA Spartan folk getting ready to evacuate! Egads.

Bridges! Keep in mind that only two bridges with the same "safety" designation have collapsed in 24 years.

You should have seen the work done here in S Diego a few years ago. Major rework of bridge piers and supports... expanded footings, new and or deeper pilings, new concrete and rebar casings, some with steel casing over that... even a big to-do over removal and replacement of a vintage wooden foot bridge.

Driving: If you are on Intersate 5 in So Calif and driving south from LA County into Orange County its like driving into another world.. like leaving a 3rd world country and entering a 1st world country! All of a sudden the freeway is wider, with wider lanes, better signage, more commuter lanes, cleaner, better sound baffling, better landscaping and on and on and on...

Amazing.
