For some reason, I can't help thinking about Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
This is starting to remind me of a tagline that I have seen attributed to Albert Einstein;
Paraphrased,
The definition of insanity is repeating the same action and hoping for a different result.

This quote pretty much sums up the attitude & intelligence of the RM of Clayton administrator Kelly Rea "... there's a big complicated explanation and I don't know. I don't understand." Hope the local voters turn out for the next election and vote in someone competent.

There's really no need for an RM administrator to understand structural and civil engineering; their job is to hire applicable experts to deal with the problem. I don't expect the president to know anything about climate change, but he should be able to at least hire actual and credible experts who do know about the subject.

So, they decided not to put in the same amount of their own money plus use grant money to build a much better bridge because it wasn't needed???
If I lived there I wouldn't be driving over whatever ends up in that location.

Agreed!
If I was the local farmer I'd make the appropriate dirt ramps and post a carefully calculated ramp speed and call it a day.

The way I read it the RM administrator is the one who made the decision that they did not need to build the bridge to Provincial standards. If she is making the decision without benefit of any kind of geotech inspection then I think she does need to understand the problem. She is/was/remains clueless.

Assuming she did make the decision, there were probably a number of people she ignored advising her to do otherwise.
