That did actually happen? It went around in text messages up here, thought it had to be a joke.
The insurance man is gonna LOVE that guy. |

Having driven through Georgia last month on the way to Florida, I feel sorry for everyone who has to drive that area. What's the timeframe to have the bridge complete? ETA-If Georgia does things like IA, emergency roadwork due to driver stupidity is billed to the driver and insurance at overtime rate-gonna be very expensive. |

I'm gonna base this guesstimate on the last bridge that suffered the same fate 20 miles away. It will take a solid year to be replaced. |

I'm still trying to figure out how the bridge shifted like that from a truck impact! That looks like some sketchy construction to begin with.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Driver had his GF in the truck with him and she had her head in his lap - accidentally hit the switch. At least that's what I heard...sounds sketchy unless they did an override on the lockout. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: What's the rumor That could cause distracted driving

The closures on 16 and 95 are gonna be just peachy if they pop up during peak hurricane shenanigans in a month or so.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The closures on 16 and 95 are gonna be just peachy if they pop up during peak hurricane shenanigans in a month or so. I routinely travel from the Atlanta area to St Simons Island and never spend a second on either road. You can take 341 from Perry to literally the base of the Sidney Lanier bridge in Brunswick. Probably half the ride is 65 mph speed limit. Add the 10 mph cushion provided by law and your traveling at interstate speed. |

There is no other explanation for how awful that Hwy is. |

First place I received it. I16 is the most boring drive ever. I made the drive from Macon to Savannah twice a week for 5 years. It sucked. |

Passed it today, old bridge parts and any rubble are long gone, probably take a year to get it rebuilt. I hate it for the local folks, but all I could think of was "damn, that must have been a big impact"
