    Miami Pedestrian Bridge, Part XIII

    Vance: Thanks; bunion surgery with bone realignment, complete with (reinforcing pins (temporary #1 stainless "rebar"). I wasn't fully healed at the 8 week point, and the doctor had vacation (no backup, we're rural), so I had an extra month in the comfy chair. Gave me time to read the reports...

    Miami Pedestrian Bridge, Part XIII

    Vance: As a signature project, it now kind of makes sense. If the priority was to keep traffic flowing, minor details like the cracks spreading from marginally bad to horrific might just possibly be overlooked. Shudder. Question: Are criminal negligence charges likely to hit anybody in this...

It also lacked the vertical pipes used on the north end. Figure...

    Miami Pedestrian Bridge, Part V

    I think I see what you are talking about. In a video posted by Tomfh in thread 1 at 18 Mar 18 02:42, I can make out a bulge just before the deck hits the ground.

    Miami Pedestrian Bridge, Part V

    I'm new to the forum, but have been following from the beginning. I see a bulge at the 11/10 intersection below the deck, but I'm fairly sure it's an illusion. In thread 4, gwideman's photo in the 24 Mar 18 12:37 you can see the traffic signals in the eastbound lanes in the distance. A clearer...
