And I thought LaDOTD was mis-managed....

The roads and bridges in our country are in bad shape the frequency of these issues will be increasing. It's a real problem for our country but folks are too worried about tax returns and travel bans to focus on real issues.

Atlanta is a shite hole run by culcha, why are you surprised?

And many folks are hard resistant to increasing taxes to fund infrastructure. I do get the distrust of politicians (i.e. LA), but the money is got to come from somewhere......

I'd imagine the DOT gave permission to the trucks holding the PVC to be there. I could be wrong on that however.

How is the fire collapsing the interstate or foam tomahawks spilling out of a truck mismanagement?

I'll concede on the foam tomahawks, but storing 1000's or yards of pvc materials,scrap lumber and chemicals under a main artery of the highway system through the state which is frequently visited by the dregs of society which do not have the best judgement concerning pyrotechnics might be one of the most idiotic things that the GADOT could do.

How are any of these events due to a lack of infrastructure investment?

These are the idiots. So now everything has to be idiot proof? Well blow everything up and lets start over. That's the only way that will happen

Well when dealing with a multiple million dollar infrastructure in the heart of one of the major cities south of the Mason Dixon line, forethought might not be such a bad thing. You can't regulate out stupidity, but it is always present. Same way you don't leave toilet bowl cleaner out so that your child can get to it.
