Mathews Bridge Breaking News

[tufsu1]

I am already tired of the bridge news 24-7 coverage

I saw nothing on it last night...apparently the only news here yesterday was JIA and the Jaguars releasing Eugene Monroe...smh

...................Some modern bridges are cheaper to maintain than ones built in the 50's or 60's.  Advances in material sciences, use of pre-stressed concrete, better designs. So it is possible that a bridge replacement could be cheaper than maintaining an old one.

Oh but so ugly and no character

Imagine what our skyline would look like if we just had a "standard" bridge instead of the hart and main st bridge?

Yeah but I think we've all learned the hard way; the prettier it is the more expensive it is to maintain. That doesn't just go for bridges, lol...

On Friday, it was reported that FDOT would open the bridge to traffic on Tuesday (tomorrow).  Seems almost too good to be true.  Anyone else heard anything more about this?

All the news reports I've been hearing today say that it is still on schedule to open after the afternoon/evening rush tomorrow.
