Most of your posts here and the posts of many of your buddies here are nothing more than attacks. Perhaps I'll take you seriously when you stop and when you castigate your buddies for their bad behavior. Until then...**** off. -- Proud to be a Liberal. |

If road salt is that big an issue even a dumb old guy like me knows you should be designing your bridges to send that salt over the side and not send it up under the bridge . I don't know why bridges are designed as they are. Most around here are steel I-Beam frames on concrete forms. Perhaps they don't want heavy rains to cause water or runoff from pouring down on whatever is under the bridge .... like cars traveling at 70 miles per hour on a highway. All I know is during the summer it is routine to see half of a highway blocked off while a crew is sandblasting and then repainting the steel frames of bridges. The only type of construction work on bridges in Florida that I ever saw was new construction and changes to roadways. Come to think of it, I never even saw any repaving being done although I am sure it is done from time to time. |
