  Oh, you bright and wonderful soul, untarnished by the knowledge of the depths of Musk’s stupidity, I envy you. I envy you and will destroy your blissful ignorance: he suggested reusing the collapsed truss steel.

  You know, steel! The material that deals fantastically with being bent and compressed and doesn’t lose any strength at all from it! 😬

    FFS that’s dumb, that steel can’t be reused without being reforged (or whatever the term is)

    That broken bridge needs removed (hopefully recycled) and then a new one built in it’s place

    Hopefully it goes faster than the project to replace a bridge near me. It was built before WWI and it’s still there, the talks have been going on for decades.

      Sounds like a bridge near me.

        There is a bridge near me that was rebuild so cars can cross like 30 years ago. They had plans to repaint it, because it looks weathered. They put on 3 different kinds of paint to see which one would look best. The 3 samples are already weathered and peeling by now.

      And let me guess; hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent on multiple studies figuring out whether or not the bridge should be replaced?

        Funnily enough no

        Everyone knows it needs replaced

        No one wants to agree on what should replace it though

        Basically 2 different jurisdictions want to replace the bridge and then either one will propose a plan that inevitably gets shot down and then it’s back to the drawing board

        So the money is being wasted there not on whether it should be replaced or not

  That just might be crazy enough to work, perhaps the tunnel can be made of scaffolding, so people can get some of that sweet sunlight while they go through it?
