Bridge Problems

I have not used the I-90 Innerbelt Bridge that spans the Cuyahoga River and connects with I-71 and I-77 for the last four years. It is one of the heaviest traveled routes in the area.

The load limit of the bridge was reduced. Trucks and busses were banned early this year from the bridge. Some entrance and exit ramps have been closed. It is the same design as the bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis. Parts of the bridge, parts which hold it all together, have been repaired.

The problem with avoiding traveling on that bridge is that a couple routes take me under the bridge.

My friends think I am a lunatic. I ask, "Is it safe?" And they look at me like I'm drilling Dustin Hoffman's teeth in "Marathon Man."

So, I took these pictures while everyone was sleeping last weekend. Last night, I witnessed more of the same.

They are cutting apart the bridge.

Is it safe?
