lmao

I was referring to the time frame that it was built in and adjustment for inflation.

I appreciate your quick wit and I hope you get a paper cut from a piece of paper made from an AIDS tree.

I was going from memory. $425 billion in 2006 dollars. So, yes, but probably less.

There are supposedly witness reports that a truck with an oversized load might have hit a girder on the bridge while crossing it. Still unconfirmed though... we'll see if that's accurate.

lol holds up

tk13 05-23-2013 10:06 PM

Yeah, that was a poor choice of words.

Used to live up there and drive over that thing every day. Both the youngsters were born right around the corner from there.

If the people went in the water this time of year not good. Water is flowing pretty good right now.

Thats what happened. I'm watching it on the local news and they've said repeatedly and even showed the vehicle that struck the bridge.

I hope that's in D.C. Bound to be some politicians in the water then.

~$30 billion per year is taken per year, just in gasoline taxes alone, not to mention diesel. The entire interstate system was built by ~$500 billion.

Taxes aren't the problem.

That liberal rag, the WSJ, says it is not enough money.

Washington state? What a letdown. I was hoping a Kennedy drowned this time.

Weren't they supposed to inspect those?

that sucks

Make no mistake, the bridge is inspected. Typically the issue is localities do not act on those inpections.
