Thats what happens when humpty trumpty cut spending on infrastructure. Biden recently signed a new infrastructure legislation, trying to undo years of neglect.
@@enidankavon Who signs and who executes are not the same. If you can't be bothered to learn it on your own, I won't waste my time explaining it. But I will give a short version, Congress passes a law, the states make requests for funds based on the law, the Executive Branch approves or denies the requests. Biden isn't responsible for constructing infrastructure across the country, he is responsible for how the funds are shared, oversight, foreign policy etc. Now don't waste my time.
The Pennsylvania DOT needs to get their ass in gear and shut that part of the highway down and do an emergency fix. If they wanted to they could fix it in a weekend. Same thing happened on 95 in Bridgeport Ct some years ago and the Ct DOT had it fixed in a few days.
Do you not see how large that bridge is? You can’t fix that in a weekend even with 300 people and working 24/7😂 you also gotta remember it’s humans repairing that bridge, they must find contractors which it seems they already have and then put a plan into action once clearing all the debris. It isn’t some weekend job lmao
I got a news flash 4 U.. This is Pennsylvania and alot of DOT contractors are pretty disgusted at how long it takes to get paid half the money owed to them. So I can see this will take some time to ah even halfway fix it.
They Just Repaired a Major Bridge in Chesapeake Va to the Beach, in less than a month!!! I’m sure PA could do it in a Month , around the Clock Working !!!
This is 3x the size of that bridge in length and 4x as wide. and suffered much more damage. Only a portion of that bridge collapsed. You can’t compare apples to oranges and expect the same outcome.
Mayor Pete was up early on a Sunday issuing a statement that he'd already reached out and offered assistance however possible. Wtf more could you possibly want? Should he put on a superhero costume and fly there and lift the bridge up with his own two hands?
@@paulendres2757 We had a similar situation in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. At 3:42 am on Sunday, April 29, 2007, a tank truck carrying 8,600 U.S. gallons of unleaded gasoline overturned on the connector from Interstate 80 west (from Berkeley) to Interstate 880 south. The intense heat from the subsequent fuel spill and fire weakened the steel structure of the roadway above, which served as the connecting ramp from Interstate 80 east (from San Francisco) to Interstate 580 east (to Oakland), collapsing approximately 168 feet of it onto the lower connector. The collapse of this bridge cut off the return route from San Francisco for many East Bay commuters (primarily those whose destinations are Walnut Creek and southeastern Oakland). To help ease the expected traffic snarl, Caltrans set up temporary detours within the days following the incident, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) added additional capacity to lines serving areas that had been impacted by the incident, and on Monday April 30, all public transportation in the Bay Area was free, with the estimated cost of $2.5 million paid out of state funds. While there was some serious congestion on the detour routes, the expected traffic jams and long delays did not fully materialize. This was possibly due to commuters switching to alternate transit options, indicated by BART posting record ridership numbers during that time. Caltrans spokespersons estimated immediately after the accident that it would take weeks to clear the debris from the scene and months to rebuild the affected sections. However, due to the urgency to reopen such a vital highway link the project was expedited, and most demolition work and debris removal was completed by the Tuesday following the accident. On May 7, 2007, the I-880 connector reopened at 4:30 am to traffic. A contractor with a proven track record of rebuilding damaged freeways well ahead of schedule, C. C. Myers, Inc., submitted a winning bid of $876,075 to repair the damage to the I-580 connector. The bid was estimated to cover only one-third of the cost of the work, but the firm counted on making up the shortfall with an incentive of $200,000 per day if the work was completed before June 27, 2007. On the evening of Thursday, May 24, the I-580 connector re-opened, just before the busy Memorial Day weekend. The deadline to finish the project was beaten by over a month, with the contractor earning a $5 million bonus for early completion. The entire reconstruction project was completed only 26 days after the original accident. A state projection concluded that the connector collapse had cost $90 million, based on a $6 million per day economic impact estimate. This includes a $491,000 loss in toll revenue for the Oakland Bay Bridge.

The whole thing just doesn’t look or sound right. Collapse, perfectly straight lines on each end of the collapse, no one on the bridge, fire under the bridge? Where is all the debris? Those trucks going back and forth doing nothing.
If some commuters have to go into New Jersey, then back to Pennsylvania to get to work or other destinations because of this major detour, I hope the powers that be will do the right thing and cut all these commuters a break in the bridge tolls, otherwise it could get very expensive for them.

Something fishy about this truck parking under the highway to catch on fire. I call intentional sabotage.

They have created panic and confusion in a major metropolitan area, as is their stated goal.

I don't need a book to read. The Northridge earthquake in 1994 damaged a similar section of the 10 freeway in the LA area, and it was complete in 3-4 months. Our company requested early 3-7 day concrete break results to accelerate production instead of waiting the usual 28 days on every concrete placement. If they DON'T finish by October, then the brutal winter weather back there will, of course, delay everything big time. Trust me, all of the engineers are aware of that issue.
