This is a prime example of why low IQ people don’t need social media.
Not only that, then some second retard posts it and calls it a bridge nowhere near where the actual bridge is.

At this point the dirt might be structural. Can't risk it

And that seems like it would be a relatively easy fix. I would think this is putting more on the other pillars which puts more wear and tear on them.
You should stay in your slow lane, Chris.

This seems like a good enough thread to remind people that a study came out several years back now that found more than 40,000 bridges in the US are structurally deficient.
IIRC, that was from the American Society of Civil Engineers, backed up with some engineering inspection reports, including pile scouring at natural bottom, 3D imaged using sonar systems.
The worst example I saw was I-10 over the Jourdan River near Diamond Head. Oakland Bay Bridge was another severely degraded one. I wasn't brave enough to see if there was any data on the I-10 bridge at Lake Charles.
Just the inspection cost for all of these is enormous, repair expense orders of magnitude greater. It was a hot topic at the time, since then ignored by State and Federal authorities.

Fortunately for Katrina recovery, this bridge was replaced in 2003-04 or it would have most certainly catastrophically failed in Katrina and the impact of the detour would not have been pretty.
ETA: After posting this yesterday, I seem to remember that some pilings of the original bridge had been apparently struck by an unknown vessel and were compromised. This made its quick replacement happen pre-Katrina.

Nothing a little duct tape can’t fix

While I don't know the appropriate name, I think what I mentioned is on the right track of what needs to be done... No?

To be clear...... all this needs is a pressure washing?

Need to change the title. That bridge is in Caryville, Fl.
Also, those are steel H piles used during footer repairs.
Retards sure love to eat it up, though.

Someone is geography challenged. Garyville? Atchafalaya Bridge? 
Posted on 1/10/26 at 4:40 pm to AncientTiger
That's not the Atchafalaya Bridge. The guy in the video says Carryville.

The steel was probably part of the form work for the pile cap that was left in place. The concrete looks fine.
But I can see how an uninformed person would look at that and think there is a problem.

Is this the same Ancient tiger from the ZOM stock suggestions in the money talk section?
Posted on 1/10/26 at 5:17 pm to LSUBFA83
The rough looking part not being structural was my first thought too, though I have no idea. They look like steel I-beams placed around to protect the structural supports. Though if that the case they aren’t protecting much anymore.
