Makes me wonder how many more are unsafe. Wonder it didnt collapse like the Minnesota bridge.

That's gonna take about 100 tubes of JB Weld right there.
Months to fix?

My wife (she is a BIG stick JBW on it gal - got it from her dad) would have that bridge open in 20 minutes!

That bridge should have been inspected between that photo and now. If not then there is a big problem with that states infrastructure maintenance program.

The guy in charge of inspecting it was fired

Though the crack isn't good, that bridge is still very beefy or it would've went swimming long ago. I'm with Mark.

Been that way for a while? Now it is a problem cause they want to slow down the supply chain.

I was wondering why they didn't toss the guy inspecting it an angle grinder to get the Fillet started

gonna need a couple three hundred pounds of 6011 5/16 rods

then some big steel plates to sister that beam up for about 30 feet

if it's been busted since 2016 or before I wouldn't get to worried about driving a couple welding trucks out there to get the patch going

Loosen up your foil hat or you’ll miss those black choppers coming for you.

I worked on the Missouri DOT bridge crew out of KC back in the late 90's. If you fellas could see the bottoms of bridges in this state, you'd never go anywhere grin

It is ironic that at the time when an infrastructure bill of over a trillion dollars is being debated in the halls of Congress a structural failure on a major bridge is "discovered" and "reported".
