lmagna Posted December 23, 2020 Share #18 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Click on the link for a more complete story, but the bridge was constructed in 1955 and while considered sound was also rated as "functionally obsolete." I-5 is a major highway that carries a considerable amount of auto and truck traffic through the US from Canada to Mexico. No barge, just a truck carrying a high load. And it was not the first to hit parts of that bridge. We have another bridge in Seattle that has been partly closed because of structural issues and it looks like they intend to repair it rather than replace it, but it will be closed until 2022! It was built in 1984 after the prior bridge was hit by a ship coming up river in 1978. They also just replaced a two mile overhead Viaduct built in the 50s in Seattle mostly due to structural issues. We don't seem to have a very good record for bridges around here.

lmagna Posted December 23, 2020 Share #20 Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) It is not so much that they don't have money, it is more of where they choose to spend the money and around here they mostly choose not to spend any money on a project that is not 3/4 or more funded by Federal dollars. Even then their latest efforts have taken their portion of the cost and converted it into tolls. That seems to answer the local cost needs in their minds.
