The tunnels still have some road work going on in the toll plazas and on 95 I believe. So basically we have 695 west which is way the hell out of the way, the two tunnels that can’t take many trucks or any hazmat and I suppose there’s also the Hanover street bridge on 2 but that’s also kind of out of the way and goes right into a fairly truck unfriendly part of the city.

every bridge needs a bunch of big boxing gloves that can shoot out to stop approaching vessels in their tracks

what if we stopped using engines on the ships and each ship just had a really long rope that's attached to where they need to go and they just pull the rope to get there

That's a cable ferry. Kind of.

Oh, right, that's the other thing. The tunnels can't take hazmat for safety reasons. The bridge could because I guess burning hazmat is less dangerous hundreds of feet up above the water but in open air than in a tunnel.

Or the bridge has emergency balloons so if the pylons get taken out they deploy and it just stays floating in the sky.

sure okay

Sad to see but this is really on Baltimore for not building dummy bridges on each side of the real one

The hanover street bridge is another disaster waiting to happen. I wasn't a huge fan of driving over the key/bay bridges but the hanover street bridge is a straight up nope from me.

This was local workers, however we cannot rule out that they interacted with an illegal immigrant, minority, or woman at some point, which could have impacted their job performance. It's all together possible they've even seen the new Star wars.

They did some work on it from 2019-2021 but yeah it’s old and it’s a mess. Also you have to drive through Brooklyn which is good if you want fentanyl and bad if you want your car to have a functional suspension from all the pot holes.

"As of January 2016, the [Hanover] bridge is in a state of disrepair, riddled with numerous potholes – some exposing the rebar below."

This is a steel bridge, the exposed rebar would be in the pavement which typically isn't relied upon for stability (for exactly this reason). It just means your pavement is hosed.

Hanover St bridge is definitely a real piece of poo poo and probably should get double checked if it’s gonna have an influx of traffic now

It’s kind of cool looking though, I always liked driving over it

I had to walk across it once because traffic for the ravens Super Bowl celebration thing was so bad. It was weird being able to see the water through holes in the bridge lol

Baltimore used to be the number one exporter of high quality American made sex arses. But then the silicone mines out Pittsburgh dried up and the private equity firms started making them oversees. My grandfather bought a rowhome in Brewers Hill working down at the sex rear end factory, his dad too. The last one closed back in 86, but they say sometimes when the wind is right and the tide is low you can still hear the sound of flesh on plastic, pumping away into oblivion.
