What bridges in America should not have been built?

The bridge to the future.

We need to build a bridge to the future ... So tonight, tonight let us resolve to build that bridge to the 21st century, to meet our challenges and protect our values.  Let us build a bridge to help our parents raise their children, to help young people and adults to get the education and training they need, to make our streets safer, to help Americans succeed at home and at work, to break the cycle of poverty and dependence, to protect our environment for generations to come, and to maintain our world leadership for peace and freedom. Let us resolve to build that bridge ... I want to build a bridge to the 21st century in which we expand opportunity through education, where computers are as much a part of the classroom as blackboards, where highly trained teachers demand peak performance from our students, where every 8-year-old can point to a book and say, "I can read it myself." ... I want to build a bridge to the 21st century in which we create a strong and growing economy to preserve the legacy of opportunity for the next generation, by balancing our budget in a way that protects our values and ensuring that every family will be able to own and protect the value of their most important asset, their home ... I want to build a bridge to the 21st century that ends the permanent under class, that lifts up the poor and ends their isolation, their exile. And they're not forgotten anymore ... I want to build a bridge to the 21st century where our children are not killing other children anymore, where children's lives are not shattered by violence at home or in the schoolyard, where a generation of young people are not left to raise themselves on the streets ... I want to build a bridge to the 21st century with a strong American community, beginning with strong families, an America where all children are cherished and protected from destructive forces, where parents can succeed at home and at work ... I want to build a bridge to the 21st century with a clean and safe environment ... I want to build a bridge to the 21st century that makes sure we are still the nation with the world's strongest defense, that our foreign policy still advances the values of our American community in the community of nations. Our bridge to the future must include bridges to other nations, because we remain the world's indispensable nation to advance prosperity, peace, and freedom and to keep our own children safe from the dangers of terror and weapons of mass destruction.

The ones that didn't show pre-existing demand for the crossing through traffic counts or the like and were built to induce demand.

The problem with the Bridge to the Future is that by the time it gets built, it's the Past.

[kphoger]

The problem with the Bridge to the Future is that by the time it gets built, it's the Past.

But if you never build it, then that's not a problem.

Depends, do you believe in multiverse theory?  You might find yourself in the reality where the Bridge of the Future was built and suddenly yearn for it upon return to your home universe.

Better yet, a ferry. There are lots of Hudson River ferries.

The George Washington Ferry has to go over the Delaware.

Are there Interstate highways between universes in this scenario?

The Multiverse Interstate system we know dangerously little about.

2025-09-17: Why were Stop and Yield signs changed from yellow and black to red and white?

[pderocco]

2025-09-17: Why were Stop and Yield signs changed from yellow and black to red and white?

They ran out of yellow and black paint one day, and they decided they liked the new colors.

[jlam]

2025-09-17: Why were Stop and Yield signs changed from yellow and black to red and white?

They changed when Signs, LLC was bought out by the Coca-Cola Company in 1954, with all affiliated signs (Stop, Yield, Wrong Way, Do Not Enter, etc) switching to company colors.

[freebrickproductions]

2025-09-17: Why were Stop and Yield signs changed from yellow and black to red and white?

So people could cover them in slices of cheese and have said cheese slices be visible on the sign.

[1995hoo]

2025-09-17: Why were Stop and Yield signs changed from yellow and black to red and white?

Discrimination against minorities. They wanted the signs to reflect the skin color of the preferred racial group. Red was acceptable because of the prevalence of red necks in some parts of the country.

[xonhulu]

2025-09-17: Why were Stop and Yield signs changed from yellow and black to red and white?

Bees sitting on the old signs were too well-camoflaged, creating an unacceptable risk of motorists being stung while their vehicles were slowed or stopped.
