A Sad Funk For Sure
If you live in Miami you can't escape the story of the collapse of the pedestrian bridge across the Tamiami Trail to FIU. You can watch the bridge collapse from the perspective of the cars that approached the bridge that had been just placed over the road about a week ago. It's called accelerated bridge construction. What follows is a description of the benefits of accelerated bridge construction according to a report by CNN.
"Unlike traditional methods of construction, ABC streamlines the building process so that bridge projects can be completed quicker and more cost-effectively.
By employing ABC technology, State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) can refurbish or construct new bridges within 48 to 72 hours, according to the Federal Highway Administration (FHA).
The accelerated time reduces traffic delays and road closures that frustrate commuters and can increase construction expenses.
Other benefits include safer work zones, less environmental impact, reduced weather-related delays and bridges that are generally more durable than those constructed using conventional methods, says the FHA."
Conversations are everywhere and everyone has an opinion about why and how this disaster happened because just about everybody drives a car and has watched this unfold on their television.
"It's a jungle out there." Monk may have been crazy, but I'm not sure he didn't have a point.
