I grew up here.  Must have taken a lot of effort.

But the 40-ton steel bridge didn't wash away in the creek. It was stolen, cut right off of its foundation. You can even see the marks left where thieves used a blowtorch to detach the grating and steal beams.

"An engineer, Bruce believes the profit from the scrap metal theft is a mere fraction of what it will cost to rebuild the bridge."

well, no ####. i'd also think that the amount earned in scrap metal would be less than the cost to rebuild an entire ####### bridge

"It's going to be expensive," he estimated. "I don't know exactly but it's probably $100,000."

to rebuild a 50 foot, 40 ton steel bridge. are we sure this guy is the topic expert?

 

[mquinnjr]

Seems like it would be in the ballpark.

 

[Snoopy]

I think a bridge like that would cost well over 100K to rebuild.

[IC FBGCav]

How is there not a camera somewhere that caught the transportation of this.

Not sure why, but this kind of makes me want to go out and steal a bridge.  I don't even take extra napkins from a taco bell, but somehow this seems like it'd be a lot of fun.

Once you digest the Taco Bell those extra napkins come in handy

The authorities will cross that bridge when they come to it.

Must not be government funded.

There is but petty theft doesn't get you in the room to see it. 

 

[Reg Lllama of Brixton]

Did her.

Did people even use the bridge? No one seemed to notice people dismantling it.

Put on one of those orange vests and a hardhat, you can steal city hall.

I got her in bed
Looked down "there" and said
Jesus, your vag hair is a tassle
 

I'll see myself out

Then it looked like a castle

She said harry was there

I was really scared

Then blew one in her a.s.s     hole.

It's like a bridge over troubled water... Without the bridge

 

[apalmer]

You're from here and it took you almost 6 years to hear about this?  Dude, it happened in 2011! Ancient News Link

I remember having dinner with a judge who was getting calls from law school classmates from  all over the country who had heard about it.  Where have you been?  We've had a lot of stranger stories than that around here.

BTW, the bridge was on private property, used only as a back entrance to a plant, so it was seldom used and certainly not worth a security camera.

Good work here, fellas.

 

[TLEF316]
