QuoteA bridge in Parke County is causing concerns for drivers. ... As you can see a hole has developed at the U.S. 36 and Leatherwood Creek Bridge. An Indiana Department of Transportation bridge inspector was on their way to the scene.



Edit to remove incorrect uglybridges info. (h/t Alps)


Alps

Wrong ugly bridge link - that's the covered bridge on old 36. Streetview suggests the bridge approaches are worn but the bridge itself looks new and well graded.

So the photo above is of the bridge approach? I'm no expert, but that looks like the deck. :confused:

God, thats an ugly bridge! :-o

If we don't start investing in our infrastructure real soon here major problems could loom ahead.
