The highly traveled bridge that connects the NJ and PA Turnpikes that spans over the Delaware River closed several years ago after an alert bridge painter brought it to the attention of engineers. The thing could have literally collapsed into the river. The bridge was closed immediately and for nearly a year as they made immediate emergency repairs. How many of these have we dodged over the years?
Yeah, there is a bridge on I-10 that is scary high just to travel over. It's been so long since I drove over it, I can't remember where it is but it is in the same deteriorated condition and many people take an alternate route to avoid it. Somewhere between Alabama and Texas.
Good question. Prolly not a top priority. We have to fund the killing fields in Ukraine.
Watch the US taxpayer pay for rebuilding Ukraine.
And Israel too
...while the US infrastructure rots...a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh.

Geez--I travel over that bridge 14 times a year--and of course, commuters do twice daily.
I’ve been over it hundreds of times. Almost fell off my chair when I heard they closed it a few years ago.

Good Lord.
Lucky no one was killed.
Roads and wars have this in common -
A long-term road repair and stoppage of wars......NOT good for either business, is it?
Not in their best interest, aka the bottom line.
Our fine government at work.
