Found a bug
This support isn’t holding up a suspension bridge, so what’s with the suspense? We’re not engineers by any stretch of the imagination, but wouldn’t the support provide better support if it were standing dead-center beneath the road above? There’s probably something obvious that we’re missing, so if anyone knows, please inform us.
And even if this vertical beam thingy does provide adequate support for the road, why not center it? Unless there’s something about the land a couple of feet to the left of it, then maybe that makes sense. In the meantime, we’re just going to call this one of the biggest construction fails of all time.
