There is a bridge near my house (over pass for a train track really) that has potholes that literally go through. Pedestrians would fall through to their knee caps if they were walking and didn’t see it. I travel this bridge daily unfortunately and I think it is what gobbled up my 17in rim. They fix it with blacktop :rolleyes: and it falls through. WTF! DUMBASSES FIX IT RIGHT! After repairing this bridge at least 25 times this summer they finally started repouring the part where the bridge meets the pillars. I bet they spent 3x as much money doing their half assed repairs if they would of just fixed it normal.

It wasn’t even superpave!

the glenwood bridge used to be like that, you could see all the way through to the river. Did you know it cheaper to rip a birdge down and completely build a new on than it is to restore an old one. do wee ever do it that way? hell no…!

I understand totally. My new rims are just scratched… but I know it was a pothole.

yeah, I work in an engineering firm that designs alot of the bridges in western PA. Even considering that it’s a mystery why they don’t do that. I’m sure it has something to do with the politics involved in PennDOT.

They re-did the park - not the bridge. There is also talk of expanding down the other way towards valvoline and shit with nightclubs, bars, etc… 😋

and the bodies are found on the Ohio river. On the Beaver river they’re washed up on the Bridgewater side. 🤣
