Chattanooga I-75 bridge collapse

I don't see what the big deal is. No one really travels on that highway anyway.

 

Excuse me. I did. lol.

Foggy too. I have not the foggiest idea what happened to that there bridge.

At the VA hospital I don't do well with the automatic elevator cars (I grew up in the day of motorman manual cars) and always try to convey the idea the #### things are good to the last drop. And get the shaft on the way.

The people always process that little outburst and want out away from me. =)

 

yeah, but 75 is still closed. we care about I-75 not the bridge )))

 

I was referring to I 75

 

I go to CVS DC Loudon, TN very often. Then I drive south to Dalton to pickup my backhaul to Vegas... I use I-75.

 

LOL BLAME X1! He admitted guilt! Teasin ya

 

75 S is open from what I read, but it's one lane only. So expect back ups for a while until they get it fixed..

EDIT:
Get ready... From TDOT

The following is a time frame from TDOT for the repair work to the I-75 South bridge:


Work to restore the I-75 South bridge to two lanes will begin Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. and last until 6:00 a.m. the following morning. The contractor will stop working during morning rush hours from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and continue to working seven days a week until the work is completed.

During the repair work to the I-75 South bridge, the ramp to I-24 West beneath the bridge will be reduced to one lane. This work is expected to take about two weeks to finish depending on the weather conditions.

Drivers who travel through this area are urged to be patient and to watch for workers and equipment.

TDOT Believes Oversize Load Led To Bridge Collapse At I-24/I-75; Driver In Beam Collision In Critical Condition
Apparently Tdot is trying to blame the collapse on a truck driver. Imagine that.

 

I remember an old elevator at my Aunt Bobbie’s apartment building in San Francisco. Mom would take my sister and I over to visit with her, and all I’d do is ride that elevator. It looked like it was a closet. Man I miss that.

 

Ours was in Johns Hopkins of Baltimore in one of the older wings. They closed up the shaft on the old cars and had the automatic cars next to it. Probably for counterweight purposes.

Ive never did well with them, however I have taken the time to learn them so it's not so bad.
