I-40 Clusterfluck

[Sandhog308]

I-40 is closed both East & West bound lanes after a crack was discovered on the bridge between Arkansas and Tennessee in Memphis. The DeSoto M Bridge.
Rerouting on I-55
Will be closed indefinitely That’s a bad road on a good day !

Why are you surprised? There are potholes in I-40 that will swallow your car whole. That or they are abandoned strip mines....

 

[Redmanss]

Rejoice for having a reason to not go to Memphis.

 

[2aBaC̶a̶]

Dont worry, im sure Bidens infrastructure plan will take care of it.

 

[thejeep]

save yourself the misery of 18wheelers at 65 and 65.2mph jockeying back and forth.

Probably from all the BLM protesters walking over it last year.

I see you haven't driven in Michigan................

 

[Aftermath]

There was an overpass on I-40 that failed near Sallisaw, OK about 20 years or more ago. A bridge collapsed in Michigan around the same time. Most of the bridges and overpasses in the entire nation need massive repair or to be demolished completely and have been in such condition for at least 20 years.
Instead of repairing the infrastructure as it is needed, our politicians use money for other pet projects that puts money in the pockets of relatives and friends. They would rather give the American taxpayer money to foreign entities than to keep America Great.
Obammer bailed out the big banks rather than spend that money to create jobs and have good roads and bridges as a result. Instead, we have a mountain of debt and still have shitty roads.
Now, we have a politician touting infrastructure spending but there is a new definition of infrastructure so our roads and bridges and such will still be shitty and our great grandchildren are already in debt. If they are even Americans at birth, they will die in debt and quite possibly not be Americans any longer.

Que the screams for "infrastructure spending" mostly on things that aren't infrastructure...

Well Not Exactly.

I was teaching at the time of the big obama bailout. The obama “stimulus” plan. I would say the stimulus worked pretty darned good.....for a certain large polluting nation that is east of Japan and west of India.

At the beginning of the school year it seems a “stimulus” notebook computer showed up in my classroom. Had a big “S” hand painted on the front. When it was assigned to me I was given a pretty stern warning as to what I could do and what I better not do when using this computer. If I was caught violating any little part of the warning, the entire school system would loose all the computers “given” to us by the obama stimulus plan.

Well the catch was, the computer, IBM branded, had on the back in bold letters. MADE IN CHINA

I locked the damned thing in my filing cabinet and did not touch it until the last day of classes for that year when I was asked to turn it back in.

Thats a good 3' foot box beam that crack straight through, the bridge steel is shot so its a death trap to drive over even if they weld it back together.

You can't weld that.

 

[rtB]

Well, you can weld that. Not that it will do any good.

 

[Maxduty]

You can't weld that.

Psshhtt. Hold my beer. All I need is a stick welder and a ratchet strap. Traffic will be back up in 30 minutes.

They are saying now that they’ve known about this structural fracture since May 2019. Picked a good time for them to remember it Something isn’t adding up.

ARDOT is about as worthless as tits on a boar hog , Arkansas roads are BAD all over.
Not surprised at all

Tits on a boar hog is now acceptable , has something to do with that 3rd sex that they discovered that God didn't even know about. Those liberals are smart.......
