The subsequent construction will be interesting to watch.

Time for a whole new design. Add some Deutschlanders to the design team for some grudging panache. (grin)

Good thing we have a Democrat in the White House whose eyes are already laser focused on our aging and inadequate infrastructure.

Maybe this will lead to upgrades on other bridges that could use it?

Because the USA is reverse mortgaged and the stake holders will need to give the nod. Sort of like an HOA.

Exclude anyone from Florida or California. There is construction on section of John Young Pkwy in Kissimmee Florida. It has been going on for about nine years. Nobody knows what is being constructed...more like a zigsaw puzzle.
