2. You’ve got a point, and I really don’t fully understand it.

   Sure, once a bridge has been built, as it ages, as technology improves, as the road’s need increase, you add bits and pieces to the bridge to make it stronger. That has been going on since forever. But when the plan changes drastically - when a dirt road becomes a super highway, or when a game trail becomes a 2 lane paved road, etc - what is the point of leaving all that redundant steel in place?

   It’s not like the weather hasn’t uprooted so many of these things. This particular bridge is along the Musconetcong River, a rather famous trout fishing area, and a river that has flooded severely many times across the years. There are bridges every mile or so up and down it’s whole length; while one right upstream survives from 1868, many others up and down the river have been washed away in floods, and replaced with new ones. So I really don’t get the point of change minimization through continuity, but we sure do have a lot of steel and iron bridges around here. More than 100 in the county I think.

3. Yep,I’m an enigma wrapped in mystery, waiting for a full explanation I am.
   In other words, I like quirky topics like this. I too have taken ill my interest in politics and dead muslim battlegrounds.
