"Challenges and Impacts of Washington Bridge Issues on Businesses and Infrastructure"
TL;DR Summary
Inspection reports spanning from 2014 to 2023 reveal that the Washington Bridge has faced accessibility challenges, including pigeon debris and design limitations, hindering thorough examinations despite issues such as rusting and cracking. The bridge was rated in poor condition but deemed safe until broken rods were discovered in December, prompting its shutdown and impending demolition. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and state leaders have expressed concerns about the inspection process, with an independent audit underway to investigate further.
