I've been wondering for awhile now about the bridge on 23 between BSG and Norton. That thing use to worry me in a loaded truck if there was another one or two running with me, it really did. I hope no one gets hurt and everything works the way they plan.
Back in the day- if we had 20 extra bucks- more than eats and tickets, a friend and I would take off to Riverfront and the ball game. We used to get caught in the traffic in his MG Midget, once spent an hour between a Greyhound and a tractor, had the top down- I stood most of the time so they didn't forget we were in there . The Ohio river bridge would vibrate when the traffic inched ahead, used to be quite a rush. I always wondered just how much the really large bridges were built to hold. I'd bet they weren't built for bumper-to-bumper traffic.
