[QUOTE="4play, post: 2878935, member: 7223"] That bridge is 64 years old, it was in terrible shape with chunks of concrete falling off, and cracks everywhere under it. You can see in some of the photos posted that the metal was even rotten around the joints, along with crumbling concrete and band-aid patches everywhere. Nobody can reasonably say that all these bridges crumbling apart like this one is just cosmetic. If all it took was a puny boom lift to knock a bridge down then it was probably going to fall soon anyway. This bridge has been smacked several times at least in the last several years, some of those were fairly significant too. I wonder how this will pan out as far as paying for and repairs etc. Will it work out like typical auto insurance does, where they access the value of the bridge and compensate for depreciation? It is was my decision the compensation would be a small fraction of what a new bridge would cost. [/QUOTE]
