I mean, isn’t it obvious that you are supposed to drive on the right hand side of the road. Its not like being on a bridge is any different. Right??? ---

Cutty is a civil engineer who has done numerous studies on the structural stability and traffic expected on the Homestead Grays bridge. Obviously, these studies have shown that the need for a lane divider is paramount. Please do not argue this fact. Carry on. ---

it worked well on the glenwood bridge. i live two minutes from the bridge and have seen accidents on one side spilll into oncomming traffic and cause worse accidents. jersey barriers is a simple and cheap solution. you don’t need an engineering degree to figure out common sense, so i guess the squirell hill homestead onramp/off ramp is an engineering marvel? ---

I mean, isn’t it obvious that you are supposed to drive on the right hand side of the road. Its not like being on a bridge is any different. Right??? I agree. It seems, to me anyhow, that common sense tells you to stay on your side. But hell I aint never studied no damn bridges. ---

We should meet up for lunch sometime. Aren’t they going to do the Rankin bridge pretty soon too? If we don’t move our office I’ll be completely screwed without that bridge. ---

I also know a civil engineer who has drafted, designed, and built many bridges in his time and may or may not agree with H22 blah blah blah. Not arguing- just saying. Depends on how you look at it. ---

Problem is, we live in a town where we need signs up that say “Stay in lane” and “Maintain speed.” Aren’t those pretty much the main part of driving? ---
