Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh bridge collapse
kernals12:
This is probably a case of overuse of road salt.

This is very near my former home in Regent Square, so naturally I crossed this bridge many times. It did always feel a little bouncy, didn't it? Or am I just confirmationing that bias?
As to the vagueness of the reports (which frustrated me also), I've found that's pretty common just in general conversation. When I meet someone who says they're also from New York, it can be like pulling teeth to find out where exactly they're from. ("Oh, it's a small town, you probably never heard of it.") News-wise, you'll see similar things with the reporting of weather events and the like. I'm not sure it's the result of intentional obfuscation in most cases.
In any case, this will result in some very unpleasant detours. (Which color detour is designated for this eventuality?) :hmm:

I suppose that the Blue Route (not the one in SEPA) will see the largest use.

I'm surprised a span that long and wide was rated for only 26 tons.
A close call all the way around.
