Mathews Bridge: how close it came to collapsing and the effort required to save it
|
Very interesting video, even though I rarely travel the Matthews Bridge I give them the utmost respect and thanks for repairing the bridge quickly and safely. Im curious about a few things.
I heard one of the engineers state if the damage occurred a few feet the other way, it would have led to a collapse. My question is even though we are in Florida and are not prone to earthquakes, was the MB retrofitted for seismic activity (or other words resistant to force)? What kind of fine this the vessel get hit with for damaging the bridge? And are the shipping lanes/times strictly enforced with regards to high and low tides?
Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.
