Does anything seem a little bizarre about this to you? Where else in the world would they have a bridge that starts falling down, so they put nets on it to catch the debris, but then the nets didn't do enough, so instead of, say, FIXING THE BRIDGE, they build a little structure to catch the falling debris?! Only in PA.
This fellow here has an interesting and amusing idea of how exactly the story went for this.
But, y'know, I haven't noticed this for a while. Are they finally replacing it? I don't know what the bridge is called, so I can't look it up, but I know they took one out entirely and are replacing it. I hope this is the one.
The bridge is called the Greenfield bridge...I grew up about a block away and used to walk across it all the time to go to Schenley park. And I thought the exact same thing when they built the debris-catching mini bridge. That's PENNDOT for you, I guess.
