    I know the video states the problem with the foundations of the bridge towers, but the video makes it look like the danger is that the concrete will suddenly catch fire and burn to the ground!
  • OK. Someone tell how a floating structure is more stable than a driven pile structure.

    It also looked like they were laying the roadway on top of the vertical supports with shims in between. I do not trust this new thing and will be sad to see the 1959 Harbor bridge go.

    A floating bridge? In a place that has hurricane tidal surges of 20 ft?

    So are they using AI to develop architectural plans now?

    I'm not a structural engineer, but I can tell you that the supporting piers for the ramps to the bridge itself are not deep enough. The ground is mud just below the surface in that spot by the river. The old bridge used cofferdams to pour concrete footings. This thing won't last long

    Question from an uneducated joe bloggs. How was so much money put into such a badly designed structure doomed to fail? It seems to me that somebody didn't do a very good job somewhere along the long line of distinguished people.
