While passing over the bridge over the past few weeks I informed my wife that I did not think it was very wise to use those tarps and have them drapped over the scaffolding next to the bridge.
The whole set-up is like a make-shift kite.
And from what I have previously witnessed with that bridge - (ie - unusual and misaligned expansion joints, concrete dropping off of the pilings and floating in the bay, improper concrete mix being used over the pandecking - then having to redo the work twice etc.) - I would not trust any type of certification issued from the Maryland Transportation Board. They are the same group that issued a compliance report right up until the Pocomoke City, MD drawbridge collapsed. Luckily - no one was crossing that structure at the time.

I have never understood, why you would build a three-lane bridge. To me it is a disaster in the making. Altering one lane on a three-way lane running head on traffic. I think it is stupid. They should be 2,4,6 lanes; but 3???? Lord knows they have collected enough taxes for one.
ReplyDelete1:52 - I absolutely agree with your analogy. 3 - Lanes is absurd in this day and age. What were they thinking - the design engineers. And what about the people who funded this project.
ReplyDeleteIt does not make sense to build a three lane bridge. It should either be 2, 4, 6, 8.
