    The bridge fell down. Its funny how no matter how much we cut taxes and lower regulation the infrstructure gets no better. We must not have done enough of that that. How long has our infrastructure been going down hill. I feel like since the 80’s

      The Yellowstone River had some serious catastrophic flooding almost exactly a year ago. I wonder if that event contributed to the structural failing of this particular bridge.
