I’m not talking about the bridge, the bridge has always been fine, it’s the road itself that goes missing. It’s like what happened to the Pensacola end of the Three-Mile Bridge – you can drive over the bridge, but the road is missing at the other end.
The whole I-10 Bridge has been soaked with salt water, so ensuring a soft ending and a way of finding the pieces would help.
]]>bridges that we could take in out of the storm and put back out right afterwards would be a real luxury. as for the i-10 bridge, i’m not sure i’d want to drive over it again after it’s been sleeping with the fishes.
]]>The ferry service that’s provided after hurricanes wash it out again is a real pain, as is driving around the bay to get to Destin from Ft. Walton. For a fishing town, Destin has amazingly few public docks and patently absurd fees.
They should attach floats and mooring ropes to the sections of the I-10 bridge to recover them after the storm.
]]>also, we like to rebuild them with kinks in them.

]]>i love wild weather, and i’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie, but i was nonetheless releieved to have survived my katrina sorties.
]]>Between the base and the tourists, there are so many people over here who can drive in a thunderstorm, that I prefer to stay off the roads when the weather gets bad.
As I explained to a young soul who ventured out to see what it was like during the storm – if you want to experience a hurricane go up to I-10 when it’s raining really hard, get in the back of a pick-up, and have the driver make a couple of runs at 75mph. That’s a hurricane, and standing out in one is just as stupid.
