Week 3 Post



On the weekend of 4/14 I went on a road trip with a friend and was able to get a good view of the Besty Ross Bridge that crosses the Delaware river. While on the trip I almost forgot about the assignment and that unfortunately lead to the not so great picture I took with my phone's camera. From what I could see the overall condition seemed to be fairly good. Nothing on the bridge seemed to be overly rusted or corroded. When my friend and I crossed the bridge it seemed to be built just about right for the traffic loads it takes on every day. While looking at every part that I could I did not find anything that seemed to pose a problem to the bridges structure. If I had more knowldge of each specific part of the bridge and what to look for I could probably find imperfections here and there but for now the Betsy Ross Bridge seems very well built.
