    On a good note. No rust on that rebar. No water intrusion to cause corrosion. Bridge inspection passed with an A+

    Snapped this picture yesterday afternoon. Bridge is completely f'd.. I just wonder where Ole buddy was coming from ? There is some lower bridges than this one about 10 miles out, so I'm guessing had to have just got on the interstate when it happened

    Saw you post pic a day or two ago & paid no attention as to where. Was just too amazed with actual hit & damage.

    Welllllll......... couple of hours ago, just spent an hour/hour and a half in the back up west bound for everyone getting off & back on at exit 24.

    Decided to last minute bounce down to Nogales & this didn't even cross my mind.

    It's definitely pretty #### fubarred.

    I noticed, with each support strike, there was less and less damage. He hit the first four, then completely missed the last two. Its shaved down enough that he could move along now. ;)

    Take a day or two to knock it down over the travel lanes and then open the main lanes up. If you are going east bound, you won't be getting off and crossing over for a long while.
