The odd placement, next to a ridged bracket, makes me think it’s vibration/resonance related.

Having been completely stopped on this bridge during a traffic jam (more than once), the entire bridge seems to resonate in an unusual manner. The sensation is hard to describe but you can feel it.

I prefer to take the older bridge.

That mechanic/welder on the show Gold Rush could fix that in 1-2 hours….what’s his name? Juan Ibarra.

Also, why is this affecting river traffic?


Presumably incase the bridge falls down.

This repair can be done very easily and quickly by simply adding splice plates on all four sides. Get some plate, mag drills, and bolts patch that mfker and go on with life.


But first, we will need to rename the bridge. De Soto was a racist.

Why didn't Trump get an infrastructure bill through? He sure as hell campaigned on it.


Because the House of Reps fought him on every single thing while running sham investigations??

Remember “RESIST!”

It seems to have been an awesome plan now. agree?
