Beehive Bridge for New Britain, CT

This is what my home town of New Britain, CT did to the Main Street Bridge spanning CT Route 72 on the north end of downtown. I get that we're considered a beehive of industry...but this feels like a waste of money.

Meh, it's a new thing to do for towns, Lebanon Indiana has decorative fairings on theirs over i-65, and in the atlanta area they have some on 75 and 85.

Guess they have to keep up with Willimantic and the Frog Bridge.

Right...but the Frog Bridge isn't spanning a limited access expressway under it. I'd think that Main Street in New Britain gets a lot more traffic, too.
