Wow. O_o That's quite creepy from a structural standpoint. At least it is done and luck held out the entire time.

Same sad story here: many highly unsound structures that would be condemned as unsound if they were buildings, but as bridges, viaducts, and seawalls, they limp along while time, money, and patience are wasted. As an outsider, I've been baffled by the local-level political gridlock I've seen over the past decade because it won't take much of a quake to bring cause disasters and, you know, infrastructure creates jobs. At least two necessary (long overdue) arterial projects are moving forward. Neither look anywhere near as pretty as that new span on your Bay Bridge, but they're both equally critical for safety.
