A good place for some a preservation perspective of bridges is:

The forum there has a few bridge professionals and a bunch of bridge
hobbyists.  The data is much better than the general media.

 Use google maps to see this bridge accident from earlier today at 
 Skagit
 River.  The bridge is already gone at google maps.  Interesting...
 mao..
 
This morning's TV coverage of this event was overrun with all the state and 
local politicians rushing to the scene to offer their unqualified opinions. 
Smarmy.

All I want to hear is if the steel has been ordered and the cranes are on 
the way to clear the debris and build a replacement. As of today, a crowd of 
highway department guys in yellow hardhats and vests peering over the edges. 
Lots of pickups and clipboards, also.

It's gone on the map, but it's still there on the satellite picture, both
45 degrees and straight down.
