Nevermind London Bridges: What's Up With Our Bridges Falling Down?
What happened with the bridge collapsing in Minnesota was awful. How many times have I crossed the overpass that transitions from the 10 west to the 405 south in Los Angeles praying not to get stuck in traffic on that bridge? Too many times.
However, the reports are running rampant that, that particular bridge had been warned about for sometime. Of course, someone needs to be fired and sued for that mess. But the even greater mess is that a majority of our infrastructure here in the U.S.; sewer systems, airports, bridges, roads, etc. are in need of serious upgrading.
Unfortunately, there are suggestions that all our tax money that goes to the Department of Transportation (DOT) and other infrastructure-related agencies is being mismanaged because the needed work is not getting done.
