Fracture critical bridges in Albany County

Fracture critical bridges in Albany County

There are many fracture critical bridges in Albany County and across the state. While it seems like they are decently well maintain -- it's rare for them to collapse unexpectedly or be red flagged and closed, you got to wonder how safe they are?

Also, at the same time, after seeing non-fracture critical bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, which was a boring rigid-frame bridge, you have to wonder if people's concerns about bridge safety are somewhat misplaced, putting all the fear into fracture critical bridges that have failed in the past like the I-35W bridge in Minnesota or the Silver Bridge in West Virginia and ignoring safety concerns on all other bridges?
