It's a private bridge and will be built back quickly when the water level falls. THIS bridge isn't from a government failure.

[@kennethbailey9853]

Thank you

[@robertdickson9319]

It's a good thing all the Congressional members of South Dakota voted NO on the infrastructure bill in 2021 - I guess we don't need to send any federal $$$ to South Dakota.

[@RT-qd8yl]

Pretty sure this is a privately owned bridge. 🤔

[@outofhere7623]

Congressional members voted no because of the pork barrel attachments to it. I feel for these people, but they all know they live in a hazardous prone area and should prepare, just like people who live in earthquake prone zones.

Bruh, it's a bridge in middle of fucking nowhere SD and Iowa.

It was obsolete before your braindead cultist mind was introduced to DEI lol

[@jasperstarr6804]

Is there some particular reason why you expected that particular bridge would be replaced within 3 years after the bill was signed? Or that major weather events would never impact infrastructure again? Nah - option C: never miss an opportunity to stir up stink and generate more harm, hate, and division in the world with petty nonsense.

[@jasperstarr6804]

@@carvalone3076 - Maybe you can explain how your cheap shots are anything but? The US is desperately behind in infrastructure maintenance and after 4 years of Trump promising infrastructure week and doing nothing, the Biden administration did pass an infrastructure bill. Severe weather events are going to continue to take a toll on our infrastructure - as well as private property, agricultural output, etc. - most of it a direct result of global climate change that some of us have been trying to do something about for DECADES while dumbasses deny the reality, but it's already costing us trillions. I'm not the one who needs to WAKE UP.

Sadly, this is what happens when your elected leaders vote NO on infrastructure bills and pretend climate change does not exist. Ask the South Dakota reps to take a look around that state and then explain why they voted the way they did.
