Default There is something wrong with that

Hi Hanno


There is something really wrong with a bridge lasting 60+ years what ever happened to planned obsolescence. Just think of all the construction works who are unemployed not having to replace that bridge every 20 years.

But kidding aside I wonder how much has had to be replaced over the years?

In the last 10 years here in New Hampshire they have made the technological jump of going back to building timber bridges. Seems that in certain applications they actually out last concrete.

Cheers Phil
