Life in "Progress" City - Cincinnati edition

If you've ever had to drive across the Brent Spence bridge in Cincinnati (the I71-I75 bridge that crosses the Ohio River), you know that you take your life in your own hands.

The structure has already been determined to be design obsolete but in my humble opinion it will be the next Minneapolis bridge disaster. It had stimulus money written all over it except no one did a damn thing to get the replacement of this death trap started.

So there it sits every day becoming more dilapidated while City of Cincinnati officials spend all of their political capital on a one mile trolley system.

So do you think Mayor Mark Mallory made a call after reading this?

Two lanes of northbound and southbound Interstate 71/75 are closed this morning because of debris falling from Brent Spence Bridge.

The debris was reported about 10:15 a.m. falling from the southbound lanes onto the northbound lanes, Covington dispatchers said.

Probably not.
