0:53 bridge story
They almost let this happen to the greenfield bridge. When I moved to the area they had a bridge under a bridge to collect all the falling debris over the parkway west which is a major interstate into and out of Pittsburgh from Monroeville.
Do not forget the net under that bridge that was up years before the bridge was built.
There need to be "lessons learned" to know to inspect, repair or replace bridges?
finally someone
Maintenance failures, engineering inspector failures - lower max weight, close the bridge altogether 😡
design failure, construction failure as well
No answers from the city, just a word salad.
It wasn't unknown.. Anyone could see that the bridge was falling apart from the walking trail underneath it. Yet nobody did anything about it. Well done PennDOT!
the fault goes all the way back to the foolish engineers, that foolishly expected uncoated steel would form a patina, that would prevent more rust.. which requires the steel DRY between rain events.. the drainage system failed to properly drain water away, total design failure.. followed by years of ignoring the rust.
what about the people who died
somebody is at fault
I thought Chinese tofu bridges were bad, now I find our bridged are just as bad. Great work state governments.
This was a City owned bridge. The state had inspected the bridge but it was the City's bridge to maintain.
New beautiful and sturdy! Were they blind? There's nothing beautiful about that slab bridge. It's unitarian at best.
Don't worry, the city will assemble a team of diversity hires that cost millions a year to investigate what infrastructure needs looked at, plan and publish findings of those meetings, upgrade documentation on assembling bigger teams of workers, etc... Then the state will assemble more diversity teams to oversee all the smaller box checker teams, wasting trillions and fixing absolutely nothing..... All by following the NTSB recommendations shown here.... All 4 lines of it, that took 400 NTSB employees to produce.....
