What was going on to cause the concrete to fall?

Maybe California should spend less money on High-Speed Rail, and more money fixing their roads and bridges.

That's kind of what happened.  SB1 wasn't repealed and the HSR was scaled back to 119 miles.

It turns out in this specific case last Friday, there was no falling concrete, instead it was debris from a pothole.
