Yeah I need to get my diet straightened out. I only drink one cup a day so far it's not to bad and I quit on a Tuesday instead of Monday morning.

It wouldn't have been pretty.......

Well, this should be a fun detour till they fix this.

Sagging closes Green Bay's Leo Frigo bridge on I-43

Makes you wonder how the rest of the bridge is doing.

Good call on starting Tuesday! I couldn't imagine being one of those 3 and 4 cup per day folks. I'm so glad I've resisted coffee thus far, don't know how long I'm gonna last though . . .

Ha! PawPaw, Texas laughs at your measly 91 degrees I'm sure your humidity makes that 91 feel like hell though

That bridge reminds me of the famous swaying bridge from ages ago. I want to say it was in San Francisco maybe? Not sure of that at all, probably completely wrong. There's footage of it swinging up and down with cars driving on it before it collapsed

The entire concrete support pylon dropped 3 feet so it's most likely a footing failure or a soil issue since the entire area is swampy lake bed.

Leave it to you to go out and find that!

Tacoma Narrows is exactly the bridge I was thinking of
