<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Arctic_fox, post: 12304492, member: 187326&quot;]While your likely not wrong you would also be suprised how little it takes to mess up a bridge and how much equipment to fix it. Also keep in mind that looks like a chevy cargo van those weigh around 5000 pounds. 5000 pounds at 55 mph plus whatever the chains add before they snap (not sure of speed limit there) your going to get quite a bit of force.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thats enough to bend I beams, shift and crack concrete, snap internal cables ect. Then the parts of the bridge now experinceing extra weight above design will start to deform and also need to be replaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure the physical damage itself may be minor looking but between the Xrays. Digging concrete up to replace parts as well as adjoining parts that may have experinced stress above what they are rated for&nbsp; then properly resealing it and setting up nee concrete, the cost of Ibeams and cranes and everything else, the truckd to move it as well as the crews to install it all plus all the #### osha requires.....it adds up really fast.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
