[PRCo] Re: Our Favorite Weak Bridge?

[Herb Brannon]

Even as I write this, all bridges of any type in the state of Ohio (state and federal roads) are being inspected. I noticed, over the past week in Cleveland, the Interbelt Bridge, the I-77/I-480 bridges, the I-490 bridge and the very long and high bridge taking I-480 over the Cuyahoga River valley also the Detroit/Superior High Level and Main Avenue bridges downtown getting their inspections. Not a cursory inspection either. They have been at it for nearly a week on the Main Avenue bridge and are still looking at most of the others. 
   
  Isn't Pennsylvania doing any inspections in light of the I-35 collapse? They should !
   
  Also, I have noticed not much information exchange on the proposed "List Get-together" at the museum. Is this still on??

I've biked across it twice in the last week. Unlike some other bridges 
I've biked over recently (I'm looking at you, Liberty) it was not 
vibrating as traffic passed me.
