Bridges.......give me the creeps now

if you've been paying attetion, a brige in Laval collapsed on Saturday afternoon 30sept. According to reports the overpass was shedding concrete a couple of hours and inspectors arrived and took a look and said while it was bad, there was no reason to freak and that was it..........whellll, then the bridge/overpass collapsed. Now we have another commission/inquiry into the tragedy that took five lives. If you've ever been to Montreal you'de Know that you can't drive in or out of the core without passing under or over some sort of viaduct. Most of the ones that I pass under or over daily are in a terrible state. Frankly, it gives me the Heebeie Jeebies. I imagine that the poor SOB who went to check the overpass in Laval will probably get the heave ho, but at the same time which monkey from the typewriting pool will replace him? In the interim, I'll be slowing down before the underpasses.....so's I can get up to speed to get through them.
