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.  :eyebrow:

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.
