Merci! Love the rust close up shot. One day we can tell our kids "this is where the decay started".

Faudrait peut-être que quelqu'un se réveille.. laisser ça rouiller de même sur un pont neuf!

Je verrais une scène de James Bond entre ces piliers.
Très belles photos!

That looks harder to replace than a super beam

I suspect it is actually easier to fix than the super bean on the old bridge. Steel is easy to cut and weld, bolt, rivet etc. Look at the work on the Mercier Bridge or PJC. They keep going through different steel bits without very serious disruptions to traffic.

The old bridge needed whole spans replaced as a single piece. It would require shutting it down for a serious amount of time (possibly a couple weeks or a month) to do each span. That's what pushed the feds into building a brand new bridge.

Exactly. That’s the huge advantage of steel over concrete. It’s like fixing Lego vs papier-mâché.
