Because of this, K C metro area is re upping bridge inspectiions!
@ 10 have been targeted and I know them all very well. Some are really scarry!
Talked with a friend who is a KsDot engineer and project coordinater and what he tells me makes me worry even more! All of these have been patched over for years and years. All of these bridges are over either the Kansas or Missouri Rivers.
Talk about patch work on highways, I-70 and I-435 are continually being worked on for the simple reason some moron decided re-bar was not needed! A new concept! What a disaster. Re-bar helps the concrete stay more stable.
St. Louis Bridges have been in terrible shape for years. The one over the Mississippi River that carries I-70, wow does it need help!
Was it the Eads Street Bridge that was closed so many years open up yet?
States just are not putting money in to infrastructure and the Federal Govt. is running out of money for their big fund also.
Amazing that Pork barreling is still big but for some funky things. Oh, to be PC, they are called ear marks now!
