The bridge had a rating of fair when last inspected.
Every bridge in the USA should have an A rating.
It's ridiculous

Blue, you’re not wrong but even an A rated bridge is not going to survive a direct hit to one of its main supports. Just amazing, and horrifying, how quick it came down.
not sure if anyone saw the story yet but the MD Gov thanked the crew for sending a warning so traffic could be stopped on the bridge. Not sure how/ why that warning didn’t get to the workers on the bridge deck. I’m sure we’ll find out in the coming days.
of course, it didn’t stop the wingnuts from going on their morning shows and twisting the tragedy into their culture war narrative.
