Quote from: Max Rockatansky on Today at 11:06:20 AM9-4-25:  What is the best type of bridge design to facilitate limited access highway travel?

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was exemplary in this regard.  As Scott Kozel has pointed out, the bridge's design recently limited highway travel across it quite a bit.

Quote from: I-55 on April 13, 2025, 09:39:41 PMThe correct question is "if ARDOT hasn't signed it, why does Google show it?" and the answer as usual is "because Google Maps signs stuff incorrectly all the time"

Obviously it's cable stayed. That's why every single city makes it their flagship bridge, and it's totally not because of unoriginality or anything.

And now it pleases me that a 'floating bridge' is both a highway thing and a music thing.

Lockhart, TX.

As it is, the 85 MPH bypass isn't an Interstate, and it's only eight lanes.  We can do better!  I say we designated it as I-835, and make both the mainline and frontage roadways four lanes each.

Natural bridges.  Natural arches are included for this purpose.

Saves a ton on construction costs. Unfortunately this reduces most limited access highway corridors to remote areas of Utah.

One that goes too far.
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

A drawbridge, but you leave it half open all the time.
