This is the bridge where millions where given to fix and less then a year it j7st got a magic hole in the middle of it. We need to deep dive into the materials being used around are country before anymore accidents
Looks like I-80 Interstate bridge through Omaha. It's fine until someone dies. Thank the government for this oversight. But Ukraine needs 150 million dollars.
Seems to me if they'd taken the first two sections near the erosion out, they could have saved the first span. Why did they wait? Was clear that the supporting pieces were going to collapse...
Most of those bridges are nearly a century old, and some have passed that mark. Most were 20 feet wide (some 18) and were not designed to carry the loads they did in later years. Though the support steel was a bit rotted, the reason for this failure was the collapse of the bridge abutment. They all need replacing; even the I-24 bridge is insufficient.
"the demolition crew completed their work after the collapse" Well, I hope they were relieved to hear that the landslide did half of the work for them, lol
Epic fail on soil tests when building foundations , brutal design as well. I could of built a bridge out of wood that would have lasted longer..seriously..lol Total joke and waste of tax payers money.
As Congressional senators Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell enrich ($$$$) themselves, this is what's happening with Kentucky's infrastructure. Hard to believe this is the only bridge that's failing statewide. Yet, Kentucky's voters will keep them in office time and again. Way to go, Kentucky!
This is disgraceful! This is in Kentucky not third world African outback! You'd think the engineers could have gotten money to just rebuild it! Maybe the infrastructure bill will get our roads and bridges rebuilt? "WOW HOW AWFULLY EMBARRASSING! "
Omg. If you got pictures on that, do you have when they cut my breaks and set the car on fire playing chicken at the other end? Dude totally threw his car in reverse I wasn't even trying to win. FBI days. It finally fell.
In the mid-70's, driving from CO to NC, I crossed the two US68 bridges across the Land Between the Lakes, which were pretty much identical to the one in this video. At night, of course. All of us in the car still have wear marks on our teeth from meeting the 18-wheelers on those crossings. The bridges were evidently replaced over the last 10 years, but you can still see them on Google Maps Street View (as of August 2021).
I used to drive across it all the time just before they closed it. For years I held my breath going across but it wouldn't have done any good. I knew it was unsafe but I was not fully aware of how unsafe it was. The crazy thing is that most of the major routes in this area have bridges that are in the same shape.
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Coen Louie Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
